Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1348

Diminov hurriedly added, “Thanks, the chief designer of Balabuye is right. This is indeed the most suitable for your development. After Antonov successfully developed the An-22, it was easy to develop it. Out of An-124…”

This old guy is too bad.

What’s special, this is telling yourself that An-124 was developed because of the development of An-22?

I really didn’t know it.

There is a big difference between turboprop aircraft and jet aircraft.

Even if you clearly have an idea about An-22, you will never let Ukrainians know that they must beg for the complete set of production technology and production lines for the An-22.

This trip to the Soviet Union was able to achieve this, which was completely unexpected.

Xie Kai looked at them and sighed in his heart.

These guys don’t pull a piece of meat from themselves, as if they won’t stop.

The A-22 does have a lot of benefits to the Chinese Air Force. Even the turboprop aircraft like Yun-8 has been gnawed in China for more than 30 years.

In the era of Xie Kai, after serving on the Yun-8, Qin Fei has been chewing on the technology of the Yun-8, and even continuously remodeling and developing it, and later transformed into the Yun-9, as well as the tactical early warning aircraft based on the Yun-9 platform. Regional airliner.

Xie Kai will definitely not show an urgent need now.

The Soviets themselves didn’t pay much attention to the technology of this outdated strategic transport aircraft. They can’t expect them to pay attention to it.

Seeing that they are also planning to brag about how suitable the An-22 is for the Chinese Air Force, Xie Kai directly expressed his disapproval to the bigwigs of the Antonov Design Bureau.

The more eager the other person is, the less he can express his thoughts.

“Gentlemen, it’s not that I don’t know the benefits of this heavy transport aircraft for China’s aviation manufacturing industry, nor is it that I don’t know the benefits for the development of the Chinese Air Force. But we don’t have a lot of funds, we buy it back, and the Air Force can’t afford it. Now it is purchased. There are many Su-27 fighters, and there is no money to purchase transport aircraft… Even a small aircraft such as the Yun-8 cannot be equipped with a few, and there is not much thought about a heavy strategic transport aircraft such as the An-22.”

Xie Kai said so, and Barabye still wanted to continue to persuade him.

The chief designer of Antonov wanted to tell Xie Kai that China’s introduction of this heavy strategic transport aircraft has other benefits.

In the end, Diminov shook his head to tell him to stop talking.

After walking around in the Antonov production workshop, Xie Kai was greedy for the An-124 and An-225 inside, but did not express anything.

He also knows that the An-124, a heavy strategic transport aircraft, is of no use to the current Chinese Air Force.

Similarly, the Air Force has no spare money to equip heavy strategic transport aircraft.

Having an idea about An-225 is only good for the layout and development of the 404 base.

In order to keep related to future development, heavy equipment such as 65,000 tons of large presses are left in the 404 base, and a heavy transport aircraft such as An-225 can still be purchased.

The Soviets did not show their intention to sell the An-225, nor did they show any preparations to export the An-124, the world’s largest military transport aircraft technology, to China.

Therefore, Xie Kai didn’t mention it.

After sneaking until it was getting dark, Xie Kai went back to the hotel after having an embarrassing dinner with Antonov’s people.

Bai Yanjun and others looked tired at this time. They were too tired to negotiate with the Soviets about the details of the contract. The prices of various products, even one dollar, would go through countless rounds of confrontation.

It is far from the price increase of hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars when Xie Kai negotiated with the Soviets.

“Where did your kid go? I haven’t seen anyone for a whole day, and I’m not afraid that the Soviets will slap you in the dark?” Bai Yanjun said angrily when he saw Xie Kai.

This kid is not conscious at all, do you think the Soviets dare not attack him?

What Xie Kai revealed during the previous negotiations shocked the entire Soviet aviation manufacturing industry and even the Military Industrial Committee.

Many Soviets didn’t know all kinds of secrets, but Xie Kai could tell them out of his mouth.

Once the KGB strictly investigates this matter, a large number of people will be severely affected by that time.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Uncle Bai, don’t worry! The Soviets will not attack me yet. We are their gold masters anyway.”

Xie Kai knows that Bai Yanjun is worried about herself.

He is not at all defensive.

Otherwise, when I go out today, I won’t bring a few security personnel.

If he changed to his previous character, he would go to the show with the Soviets alone.

Last night, I wanted to tell Bai Yanjun that Bai Yanjun negotiated with the Soviets, but did not come back overnight, and did not see any figures before setting off in the morning.

Bai Yanjun squinted his eyes falsely, and said to Xie Kai angrily: “You kid, you’ll know that the pot is made of iron sooner or later! You don’t know what you said has caused a big deal in the Soviet Union. During the negotiations over the past few days, we learned from Soviet personnel that many people did not understand the flaws and projects you mentioned. Investigations have already begun in the Soviet Union…”

Xie Kai couldn’t explain to Bai Yanjun how he knew the news.

Can only smile awkwardly.

“Uncle Bai, this is all deliberately said. If the technical secrets of a country are leaked to this level, how many technicians and management will be severely dealt with? Even if there is not enough evidence, they will be suspended from work. …”

When Xie Kai said this to the Soviet leaders, it was not that he hadn’t considered the consequences.

He is very aware of how serious the consequences are and how much impact it will have in the Soviet Union, but this situation is what he expects to see.

So far, the Soviet economy has been unable to support the huge air force refitting plan, and it is not enough to support various military project expenditures.

The huge military industry system is on the verge of bankruptcy, and countless technicians need to feed. At this time, the Soviet Union’s rigorous investigation of leaks will cause many core technicians to step aside.

Until it is clear, the Soviets will not allow these suspected technicians to continue to participate in the project.

Until the disintegration of the Soviet Union, these technicians will not have a better life. Only in this way will it be easier to persuade these technicians to come to China.

The more desperate the Soviet technicians, the easier it is to persuade them.

Once the Soviet Union disintegrated, these Soviet technical personnel who had not been investigated clearly but had a poor life will become the first Soviet technical personnel to be attracted by the 404 base with favorable conditions.

Bai Yanjun looked at Xie Kai and sighed, helpless and worried.

“You kid will become a global public enemy if you do this.”

Xie Kai shrugged indifferently.

“What about becoming a public enemy? As long as it is good for the country. Moreover, if the Soviet technical personnel are dug back to the country, there is no need to worry that they will run, and their country will no longer exist.”

“The base should now expand the construction scale of the Soviet expert building. At that time, the technical staff will be accompanied by family members. We must make a long-term plan for them to take root in China for a long time and make contributions to China’s national defense.”

Bai Yanjun now knows the huge plan that Base 404 had started a few years ago.

For this plan, countless people are already doing various preliminary preparations.

Looking at Xie Kai: “By the way, when will your brother-in-law be back?”

Xie Kai didn’t know when Liu Dongsheng would be back, and shook his head.

Looking at Bai Yanjun, he said, “By the way, Uncle Bai, I am going to help Qin Fei get the An-22 heavy transport aircraft back. What do you think?”

Bai Yanjun suddenly exploded, “Your kid is crazy! How can there be so much funding and energy?”

Bai Yanjun still has one reason not to say that Qin Fei has not even digested the technology of the An-12 medium-sized transport aircraft. It is not for Qin Fei to introduce a more advanced and more complex heavy-duty turboprop aircraft. Not a good thing.

Greed more than chew.

Seeing Xie Kai’s firm eyes, Bai Yanjun was worried that he would persuade himself, and even more afraid that he would not be able to resist Xie Kai’s persuasion.

Just tell Xie Kai directly, “The turboprop transport aircraft is already behind. What’s more, the An-22 you mentioned, the Soviet Union has long been discontinued, and they don’t have much equipment themselves.”

“Uncle Bai, the An-22 was discontinued not because of its backward performance. The Soviets were pitted. From the perspective of comprehensive performance indicators, the An-22 is better than the C-17, which is the so-called strategic and tactical all-in-one machine being developed by the United States. But if the speed is slower, that’s not a big problem.”

“How is this possible? If the overall performance is really strong, why would the Soviets give up?”

Bai Yanjun doesn’t believe Xie Kai’s reasons at all.

Bai Yanjun does not know what the military transport aircraft project the Americans are studying.

How is it possible to convince Bai Yanjun that the large transport aircraft that the Americans are studying is worse than the turboprop aircraft that the Soviets studied in the 1970s?

He doesn’t have Xie Kai’s information channel, and even Zheng Yucheng and others don’t seem to know the source of Xie Kai’s information. Naturally, Bai Yanjun is too lazy to investigate the source.

“The An-22 is considered defective, in fact, because of the turbofan engine, the transportation capacity and range are very good. It is the most suitable for the development of our air force. The jet aircraft consumes too much, and the cruise speed of the An-22 reaches 680. The maximum level flight speed is 740 kilometers per hour in kilometers. The cruising speed of Yun-8 is only 550 kilometers per hour, and the maximum level flight speed is only 662 kilometers per hour…”

Xie Kai directly compares its performance.

The main transport aircraft of the Air Force is the Yun-8, and its performance is really not good.

Regardless of the load capacity or the voyage, the Yun-8 can’t compare with the An-22 at all.

“The Soviets gave up the An-22 because they were misled by the Americans.”

Bai Yanjun was angrily laughed, and the boy said more and more outrageous.

“You are talking about how the Soviet Union was misled by the Americans.”

Xie Kai’s statement makes no sense at all.

The Soviet Union and the United States are the biggest rivals, and the two countries have been wrestling for almost half a century.

The Soviet Union is so powerful that it is impossible to be misled by the Americans.

The An-22 is so good, would the Soviets be so stupid to give up such a transport plane? It was developed in the 1960s and ceased production in 1974.

In order to convince himself, this kid could make up any reason.
