Chapter 1378: The second son

After the Huaxia delegation proposed its intention to purchase the Su-27, fierce disputes within the Soviet Union also started, and they immediately divided into two clear-cut factions-MiG and Sukhoi.
This is actually no different from the performance of the major military-industrial complexes of the United States in the battle for orders. The two major design bureaus have their own interests. Of course, they also have their own spokespersons in the leadership. When facing the possible huge orders of China , Naturally inevitably a fierce contest.
According to the plan originally formulated by Soviet Russia, Su-27 is not in the catalog of products that can be sold to China. Defense Minister Marshal Dmitry Mofievich Yazov even personally asked the chief designer of the Mikoyan Design Bureau Liakov promised that "the Chinese people will not be able to see Su 27 at a glance." This made Mikoyan Design Bureau feel confident that he has the chance to win, but unfortunately, there are always people who are better off.
Mikhail Petrovich Simonov, a legend in the Soviet-Russian aircraft design industry, and the chief engineer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, is such an expert.
Simonov’s experience in the development of the Su-27 is also rough enough. The prototype T-10 of the aircraft has encountered many major accidents during the development process, and there have been no less than 3 crashes alone, two of which also caused Two test pilots died on the spot, and the T-10 gained the notoriety of "pilot harvester" among the test pilots.
However, he still refused to give up, and even when the prototype was already in the sky for test flight, all the design schemes were overturned, and despite the serious shortage of development budget, the MiG 29 has successfully passed the acceptance and equipped the troops, the Su-27 The huge pressure that the project is likely to be aborted has finally completed the design of this type of fighter that is destined to shine in the future, which can be seen in its human mind, wrist and ability.
Mikoyan settled the Ministry of Defense and took the upper-level route; therefore, Simonov took his sword slant forward.
At the same time that the MiG-29 took off for the Huaxia military delegation, a Su-27 also switched to the Kubinka Air Force Base with its watch, and landed in front of everyone.
At this time, who can stop the Chinese delegation from coming forward to look at this plane?
At the request of the distinguished guests, by the way, let the plane go around a few times to show its performance. The hospitable owner shouldn't refuse it, right?
The Soviet-Russian Air Force Commander General Shaboshnikov is a close friend of Simonov. This general and Defense Minister Yazov belong to different factions. The two sides fought fiercely. As for the problem, Admiral Shaboshnikov is very happy to do it.
And he also knew that the deteriorating economy of the Soviet Union was no longer able to support the huge annual expenditure on arms purchases, and the purchase price of the dual-engine heavy fighter Su-27 was three times that of the MiG-29, such an expensive equipment price and higher later use, Maintenance costs can only lead to one result-Sukhoi will not be able to get enough orders for a long foreseeable period, and this also means that the survival of this design bureau is in jeopardy!
But Soviet Russia cannot lose Sukhoi.
Because as an veteran pilot who participated in World War II, Shaboshnikov knew that among all Soviet Russian fighters in active service, only the Su-27 was the one that could truly compare with the advanced Western fighters. The model doesn't work!
If you want to save Sukhoi, you must help it win the order from the Chinese. Therefore, after Su-27 performed an unplanned but wonderful flight show, Shaboshnikov took advantage of his position and reception work. The Chinese military delegation talked a lot about this type of fighter, and implicitly hinted that the Chinese people could sell this type of fighter!
As a result, the buyers and sellers quickly focused the discussion on the arms sale on the Su-27, and the MiG-29, which was originally scheduled to be the protagonist, quickly received the lunch.
As for Yazov smashing several vodka bottles in the office while scolding his mother, who cares?
Now that things have reached this point, Soviet Russia has to approve the export of the Su-27. For Soviet Russia in 1990, I am afraid that nothing is more important than the idea of ​​getting dollars.
Agree is agreed, but the next question will follow immediately-Huaxia’s intention is to purchase a regiment of 24 Su-27s first, and retain the intention to purchase another regiment under the same conditions, even if not first. Talking about the following intentions, these 24 fighters, together with the supporting parts, weapons and ammunition, are also a big deal of 1 billion US dollars. Can you think about how to pay for China?
I declare in advance that we can talk about the price slowly, but we have a request for payment. You have to give me US dollars.
This is quite different from the plan of the China Military Delegation.
China Xia’s original plan was to pay no more than 30% in US dollars in cash, and the rest would be paid by barter trade. China's light industry capacity at this time is already quite good, and there are many types of goods that can be provided to Soviet Russia, such as textiles, daily necessities, processed foods, etc. Anyway, if you get US dollars in Soviet Russia, you will eventually have to go to the international market to buy these materials. , Then it’s better to omit this process, what do you want to mention directly, why not just give you the equivalent goods?
In Tan Zhenhua’s previous life, after arduous negotiations, the first batch of Su-27s who entered China adopted this payment method. Later, the so-called "180,000 dog skins for one Su-27, one column among military fans" Stories such as changing the train’s instant noodles to a Su 27" all originated from this. For example, Zhang Shaozhong, an old friend of this book, "Juza" once said in a TV show: "In order to exchange this batch of Su 27, China has three provinces. The dogs have suffered."
For dog, a good friend of mankind, this is really a sad story... But in this time and space, the dogs of the three provinces may have escaped—because Young Master Tan Er, the little cicada, wielded its wings randomly. The chain effect of this time made Hua Xia more pockets and pockets more than another time and space, and the foreign exchange reserves in his hand were also more, and there was also him, a well-known rich man.
More precisely, the military delegation sent by China Xia this time is not much different from the previous time and space. The head of the military delegation is Lieutenant General Lin Hu, the deputy commander of the Air Force, and the deputy commander is Major General Wang Xugong, the deputy commander of the Naval Aviation; the overall technical leader of the aircraft. Shengfei Gu Songfeng, deputy team leader Song Wenhua and Chen Yijian; the person in charge of the airborne radar subsystem is Ben Fang.
Look at this lineup. Except for Gu Songfeng's first meeting, who doesn't know a rich man from Tan?
Therefore, after the Soviet Russians asked for U.S. dollars, all of these people thought of not insisting on bartering, but thinking of asking the two young masters to come out to do something.
