Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1407

The Soviets were too sloppy, and they actually drove the modified An-124 to show off.

This thing is a military transport aircraft, not a civil aviation airliner.

An-124 landed quickly, and a group of Ukrainians came out from a suspended ladder on one side.

Vitor, Xie Kai and others are not familiar with the lead. They have only met once or twice in Ukraine before, and there is no friendship.

The general manager of the Antonov Design Bureau was not only present, but also Diminov, the head of the Ukrainian Aviation Industry Ministry.

What surprised Xie Kai was that Liu Dongsheng was actually in the delegation.

Looking at Xie Kai, Liu Dongsheng just smiled mysteriously.

“Welcome to China.”

Long Yaohua and Li Mingshan expressed their welcome to the Ukrainian team on behalf of the Chinese side.

Only then did Xie Kai discover that Liu Dongsheng had transformed himself into a translator for the Ukrainian team.

My uncle is getting more and more open now in Ukraine.

After the greeting, the Chinese side was anxiously preparing to send the Ukrainians to the hotel, and the American plane was about to land.

But the Ukrainians didn’t know if they got the intelligence, or were eager to sell the An-124 to China, and they directly started to introduce the Soviet aircraft to China.

Isn’t this a delay?

The Chinese are more anxious to welcome people, but the Soviets are not in a hurry at all.

The American delegation is coming soon.

“Chairman, Minister, the journey is exhausted, let’s go to the hotel to rest first. We have already learned about the various functions of An-124 in detail before…”

Xie Kai was also anxious. He was afraid that the Soviets would deliberately find faults and cause trouble, so he proposed to the Soviets.

Xie Kai didn’t know what the Soviets thought.

It is definitely not a good idea to stay at the airport.

The Ukrainians who should be late arrived more than ten minutes earlier than the Americans. If they didn’t know the Americans’ arrival, obviously no one believed it.

Liu Dongsheng didn’t have any hints either.

Xie Kai didn’t understand why the Aviation Administration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would let the Soviets and Americans land at the same airport at the same time.

Diminov looked at Xie Kai with a smile on his face, “Xie Kai, in order to show the importance of this cooperation, Chairman Valentina specially approved and arranged this modified An-124, an absolute palace in the sky. , Don’t you plan to see it?”

Xie Kai rolled his eyes.

What is it like to be poor, even spending money like this.

Sure enough, the disintegration of the Soviet Union was not unreasonable.

“An-124, An-225, I have both ridden and learned about the specific performance. Our leaders also understood when the An-124 first landed in China. I am very impressed by your technical strength… …”

Xie Kai slapped the Soviets without a trace.

Hearing Diminov and others were very happy.

Long Yaohua kept winking at Xie Kai, asking him to get rid of the swaggering Soviets as soon as possible.

The Soviets had no intention to leave immediately.

Warmly invite Chinese personnel to visit the reconstructed An-124.

Even, in order to allow the Chinese personnel to visit, the driver has begun to control the huge An-124 nose to lift upward…

Long Yaohua was very anxious for the Soviets to show off their technical prowess.

“The Soviets knew that the Americans were coming.”

Li Mingshan nodded to Long Yaohua with a heavy face, “The time of arrival, plus now that I am not going away, I don’t know that it is a strange thing.”

Originally, China prevented the Soviets from getting into trouble after they met with the Americans.

After the Soviets arrived, they did not follow the Chinese arrangement and went straight to the hotel, dragging them to wait for the Americans to arrive.

In desperation, the Chinese staff could only follow the enthusiastic Ukrainians to visit An-124.

The modified An-124 is completely different from the one that went to China last time.

The cargo compartment has been carefully decorated. It is no longer as crude and rough as before, and the surrounding frame beams and structural parts are no longer visible. All are decorated in accordance with the standards of business jets. Very luxurious, like a palace in the sky.

If you don’t know the original appearance of this aircraft, it now appears to be a huge business jet.

Xie Kai can’t stop talking.

The Soviet Union did not even care about the economic situation in order to show its strength.

Is it possible that you want to sell the world’s largest business jet to China and use it as a special plane for domestic leaders?

Chinese national leaders do not have a special plane. Every time they visit, they are transferred from a civil aviation passenger plane, and only the crew members are fixed.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The country is too poor, and the leaders’ special planes are not specially configured.

Suddenly, Xie Kai thought, 404 should equip national leaders with an Air Force No. 1.

With a large passenger plane such as the C-910, a special plane can be built.

Otherwise, national leaders will travel to other countries and take American or European planes, which is not justified.

Although domestically produced aircraft are not as large as the United States, they can also perform intercontinental flights.

What’s more, this can also allow national leaders to advertise China’s large aircraft.

Over the airport, a Boeing-747 appeared.

The American delegation is here!

Soon, the Boeing 747 landed.

I didn’t know how the control tower was arranged, and the Boeing-747 was actually parked on the apron not far from the An-124.

In this way, things are more difficult to control.

Seeing the Boeing-747 landing, the Soviets didn’t say anything after seeing the Boeing-747. They still introduced the An-124 to the Chinese with great interest.

Long Yaohua and others wanted to leave with excuses, but they couldn’t.

The U.S. is greeted by personnel from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the military has also sent a few representatives, so the courtesy will not be lost.

The mighty American team got down from the Boeing-747 and saw the An-124 parked not far away, obviously stunned.

They knew nothing more about the iconic aircraft of the Soviets.

What’s more, the huge An-124 fuselage is sprayed with “CCCP”, the red flag of the sickle hammer and the An-124 model in bright red!

The Americans did not expect that the Soviets would arrive almost at the same time as them.

Looking at the An-124, a group of Chinese military personnel staying with the Soviets in it, the Americans were very upset.

Especially Alex, looking into the distance, his eyes flickering constantly.

He did not know whether it was the Chinese deliberately arranged it or the Soviets demonstrated against them.

If the Chinese deliberately arrange, this trip to China will be more difficult than imagined.

The Soviet Union demonstrated to them, which is equally difficult to get. China has greater confidence to reject their cooperation agreement.

The Deputy Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State and others also saw the huge An-124.

But they didn’t take it too seriously.

They can come to China, as can the Soviet Union.

In recent years, the relationship between the Soviet Union and China has become much better than before, and the technological cooperation between the two sides that has been interrupted for decades has also begun to become frequent again.

In order to win over China, the Soviets were willing to provide 10 billion rubles in loans to provide China with technology.

Unfortunately, the Soviet Union did not master the rules of the game.

The whole world is in line with the West.

Fortunately, the conflict that Xie Kai and others have been worried about did not happen.

The Soviets and Americans stood beside their planes and looked at each other a few times, and left the airport under the guidance of the Chinese reception team.

Xie Kai clearly saw the arrogance, pride, and even contempt of the Soviets when they looked at American planes.

The Soviets did it deliberately.

Taking a special trip on the modified An-124 is definitely to show off to the United States.

The Boeing-747 is much smaller than the An-124. Even the largest C-17 military transport aircraft in the United States is about the same size and has a much smaller load capacity.

No accident, Long Yaohua and the others let out a long sigh.

404 arranged the Ukrainians to a foreign-related hotel not far from the office, which made the Ukrainians very satisfied.

It is convenient for both parties to communicate and communicate together.

When setting up the Soviets, Diminov directly pulled Xie Kai aside and asked Xie Kai seriously, “Thank you, I heard that your country is communicating with the United States on technology introduction projects. Are you going to give up cooperation with us?”

Xie Kai was stunned. As the highest person in charge of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of Ukraine, Diminov wouldn’t be so eager, right?

I really have this idea, and I shouldn’t ask it now.

The negotiations have not started, just give up the initiative?

What are the Soviets thinking?

Countless questions linger in Xie Kai’s mind.

Are Ukrainian bigwigs so uncomfortable?

“Minister, where did you hear the gossip? We don’t know… In order to raise funds for purchasing technology from your country, we haven’t had a full sleep these days. It was so easy to match the funds with the annual loan repayment amount. Enough…”

Diminov stared at Xie Kai, not believing what he said.

The American delegation appeared in China at this time, and they knew what they were doing.

Precisely because it knew about the Americans, the Soviet side deliberately arranged to go to China at this time.

He dragged the Chinese greeter until the American plane landed and demonstrated to the Americans. It was not easy for the Americans to prevent cooperation.

“Have you collected all the funds?” Diminov asked in surprise.

Isn’t China short of money?

Xie Kai sighed, “Hey, it’s not all at once. Not only did we find major banks for loans, we even mobilized all the cadres and employees of our unit to borrow money, but also issued tens of billions of bonds…The expenses for the next few years have been done. Budget. Otherwise, if the first part can be paid now, but the loan cannot be repaid later, how can the cooperation continue?”

Xie Kai said this to reassure the other party.

No matter how good the conditions of the Americans are, there will be no change in the previous talks.

The United States will not disintegrate. If the president is changed, cooperation will be affected.

Diminov was a little relieved.

“Minister, I think, the cooperation between the talks needs some minor changes.”

Diminov suddenly became alert.

What is the other party planning for them? Could it be An-124?

“In the technology list, there are some more basic technologies that are not listed. We need these basic technologies more. For example, special vehicle manufacturing technology for missile launchers, warship gas turbines, etc…”

These are basic items.

When Xie Kai mentioned it at this time, the Ukrainians were not surprised.

Diminov said that these are not problems.

Moreover, Vital, chairman of the Military Industry Council, will not stop it.

Before the formal negotiations, Long Yaohua and others were only greeting the Ukrainian side. Only Diminov communicated with Xie Kai, and both parties were testing whether there were any variables in the cooperation.

At another foreign-related hotel, the Americans constantly tried to greet them with the Chinese representative, wanting to understand the extent of the negotiations between China and the Soviet Union.

The CIA’s intelligence system did not provide much reliable information.

Don’t even know when the Ukrainians will arrive.

The Americans suffered a loss this time, which proved that the intelligence system is inferior to the Soviet Union.
