Chapter 1360

Vladimir knew that Chinese and Westerners have many different ideas.

In order to allay the worries of the bigwigs who have been in contact with the Chinese, Vladimir immediately assured them, “Chief, please rest assured that when the Chinese negotiating team came for the first time, we started training a new group. The swallows. These swallows are all beautiful girls who are newly selected from the country and are completely in line with the Chinese aesthetic concept. They have fluent Chinese and, more importantly, their training methods are different from other swallows…”

Why is it different? He didn’t introduce it.

These are just to reassure the big guys that the new swallows in this training will successfully complete the task.

The KGB has not been able to find out how to leak the secrets, and can only start from the Chinese who are tightly guarded and act cautiously.

After coming out of the Arbat Military Region, Vladimir returned to the KGB headquarters and immediately called in all the relevant heads of the General Administration, especially Shebarshin, the head of the First General Administration.

With a serious face, he said to the person in charge of the First General Administration: “Shebarshin, the Chinese are now in Ukraine, immediately dispatch the swallows specially trained for the Chinese, and let the swallows solve this problem.”

As the head of the First General Administration, Shebarshen was also under great pressure during this period.

On the one hand, they have to fight against foreign spies, and on the other hand, they have to monitor the country. In the process of performing this leak mission, a large number of Western spies have been detected. Dealing with these Western spies is also very troublesome, especially since these spies have been plotting to subvert the Soviet Union. Make the KGB more pressure.

Shebarshin looked at the director and weakly assured, “Please rest assured, the director, we will send the most elite swallows.”

Vladimir reminded him, “Not only the most elite swallow, it must be the most beautiful. It must conform to the aesthetic concept of the Oriental and the swallow that has not been touched by men. The goal this time is different from before…”

After the head of the KGB left, the discussion in the meeting room of the Arbat Military District did not end there, but continued the meeting.

The Minister of Defense looked at Oleg and the Minister of Aviation Industry and asked, “Why do you think we should expand technology deals with China? Why?”

Oleg nodded.

“General, we have discussed many times and fully considered it. Only by expanding the scale of cooperation with the Chinese and getting more funds from them can solve the current predicament. The national finance has deteriorated seriously, and financial allocation alone is not enough to support the current situation. Some military projects…many military scientific research units are no longer able to continue production.”

The Soviet Union’s finances deteriorated severely and the economy was in dire straits.

It is not a simple matter to solve the current economic situation.

The government carried out economic reforms, but the reforms failed, and no results were seen.

Neither the Su-27 nor the MiG-29 fighters were deployed in the number of troops required.

Not to mention, a new generation of tanks that must be refitted on a large scale has been developed, and a new generation of nuclear submarines that consume more funds, as well as aircraft carriers that are not yet in service and are under construction, all require huge expenditures.

Misavichowski also stood up and added to the Minister of Defense.

“General, cooperating with the Chinese can bring a lot of orders, not only to get the operating rate, but also to get funding. Even if they provide light industrial products, they can also supply domestic demand and drive the growth of the domestic economy… Once the funding cannot be resolved, The manufactured aircraft carrier will be the same as the An-225, unable to be manufactured, and now it has been suspended…”

The economic deterioration has affected the three aircraft carriers currently under construction in the Soviet Union, and the construction progress has almost stopped.

This is similar to the situation of the An-225. The second An-225 lacked funds and was only half built, and it has been unable to continue construction.

Originally, the aircraft carrier had nothing to do with Misavichowski, and the aircraft carrier was not a matter of the aircraft carrier department.

However, the military attaches more importance to this aircraft carrier. The An-225 cannot continue to be built and will not affect the military, but the aircraft carrier cannot be built, and the military is upset.

The nuclear submarine force surpasses the Americans. As for aircraft carriers, there are so many American aircraft carriers. The first Soviet ship has not yet formed combat effectiveness…

In Ukraine’s Black Sea Shipyard, there is not only one aircraft carrier under construction.

The first aircraft carrier is about to undergo a carrier-based aircraft landing experiment. The second Varyag aircraft carrier was launched last year. The construction of the most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the Soviet Union only started last year. Up to now, the progress has been much slower due to economic reasons. …(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The contradiction between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Finance has become increasingly acute because of the lack of money.

The Ministry of Finance cannot provide more money, and the Soviet military needs to invest more money to continue to build huge weapons and equipment, and contradictions naturally exist.



As the highest person in charge of the Arbat Military Region, Sergei’s pressure is naturally not small.

Now the Chairman of the Military Industry Council, Oleg, has proposed a solution to expand cooperation with China and get more funds from the Chinese to fill the funding gap of the Soviet military and continue to manufacture advanced weapons and equipment.

Sergey was a little puzzled, “The Chinese don’t have much funds for themselves. Where can they be paid? Their army also faces a large-scale replacement gap, especially the fighter planes currently used by the Chinese Air Force are several generations behind the country; warships Even worse, the Army is still using the tanks that we used decades ago…”

Sergey, who is not the highest military leader of the Soviet Union, does not take the Chinese People’s Liberation Army seriously.

The weapons and equipment currently used by the Chinese troops are too backward.

The navy, air force, and even the army are all very poorly equipped, and all require large-scale replacements.

Up to now, China’s military has had to make way for economic construction because of its domestic economic reforms.

The Chinese army is short of money, even more so than the Soviet army.

“China’s light industrial products are what we lack. With these light industrial products, we can supply the market and make domestic supply sufficient. We can even import a large amount of grain from China… Various light industrial products and grains and other shortages in the domestic market are in short supply. It’s easier to solve economic problems…” Oleg persuaded the Secretary of Defense.

“The Chinese don’t have that much money to introduce our technology! They lack too much…”

Sergey sighed.

It is almost impossible for the Chinese to purchase all kinds of military equipment from the Soviet Union on a large scale, especially all kinds of high-priced advanced military equipment.

Their government will definitely not approve it.

What’s more, even if the Chinese government approves it, those shrewd guys will never agree to only import equipment. The Chinese have always wanted technology.

Even if a complete set of equipment is purchased, technical requirements will be raised during the procurement process.

The bigwigs of the Arbat Military Region were actually not satisfied. Even the most advanced Su-27 of the Soviet Air Force not only sold complete fighters, but also provided all the production technology and production equipment to the Chinese.

If it weren’t for the Soviet military’s insufficient funds to support it, there would be no possibility at all.

Sergey looked at everyone, “Since the most advanced fighters and production lines have been sold to China, India can also agree to sell fighters if they request it. Not only Indians, but other countries in need can also sell them. At the same time, it must be correct. The Su-27 technology that is exported to other countries is restricted to speed up the upgrading and improvement of the Su-27 technology used in the country.”

The Secretary of Defense’s words impressed everyone.

They are not worried that exporting Su-27 abroad will not have any serious impact on Soviet defense.

The supporting advanced air-to-air missiles are not for sale, and the combat capability of the fighters cannot be evaluated at all.

For example, the KS-172, which is about to be successfully developed, is an ultra-long-range air-to-air missile with a range of more than 300 kilometers; there are other satellite navigation and weapons and equipment that use a large number of cutting-edge technologies that are not exported.

The Soviet Union was originally a major military exporter, and the Su-27 participated in the Paris Air Show for export.

Now that the domestic economy is sluggish, it can only rely on the export of various weapons and equipment, and even backward military technology, in exchange for funding for military development.

The Secretary of Defense is not commenting anymore.

Mishavicowski suddenly spoke and said to the Minister of Defense: “General, the Ukrainian side proposes to export the entire production technology of An-22 to China. Look at this matter…”

The words of the Minister of Aviation Industry stunned everyone.

Everyone looked at the Minister of Aviation Industry in confusion, what did Ukraine mix with?

Shouldn’t it be the Soviet Union’s coordinated sale of all technical equipment?

The Secretary of Defense is even a little stranger to An-22.


“The world’s largest turboprop transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau. At present, the Air Force still has 45 aircraft in service, and some of them are also used as passenger aircraft in the civil aviation market. The speed is slow and the performance is lagging, and production has been discontinued in 1974. Now the Air Force The An-22 equipped are all ready to retire…”

The explanation of the Minister of Aviation Industry made others suddenly realize.

It turns out that this is a backward aircraft that the Soviet Union has long wanted. No wonder everyone is unfamiliar.

Sergey did not have any opinion on exporting such backward aircraft technology as the An-22. Not only did he have no opinion but rather supported it.

He immediately gave instructions, “Didn’t you propose to expand technical cooperation with the Chinese? It is more appropriate to export such technologies. For us, backward technology is useless. Since the Chinese need them, they must pay the price to impress us. , Can’t be too cheap for the Chinese.”

The Minister of Defense gave instructions, and the others naturally had no opinion.

Oleg is even more supportive of this matter.

Immediately he said happily: “In this case, Ukraine can allocate less funds.”

The money for selling technology in Ukraine must go to them.

At least the bulk of it belongs to them.

The life of the chairman of the Military Industry Committee is not easy. The huge military industry system consumes a lot of funds every year.

Especially in terms of R&D and technology upgrades, money is needed.

It used to be better, and no one cared about it. At that time, they were even worried about not spending enough money each year. They asked all military units to expand their projects and engage in more advanced technologies to consume too much military funds.
