Chapter six hundred and eighteenth catch
The intention 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 Wanwan can buy, and its performance is still so powerful!
In fact, due to the request of confidentiality, Huang Xiaozong and others have not seen the actual aircraft of the Su 27 until now, but they are quite familiar with this fighter. After all, in order to promote this fighter, the Soviets frequently appeared at major air shows. All kinds of dazzling actions made countless people cheer. The maneuverability of this aircraft can be said to be the world's number one!
Although it takes half the deposit, which is nearly 2 billion US dollars, Wanwan can agree to obtain fighter jets as soon as possible.
When the people from Wanwan left, the representatives of the Soviet Union also showed joy.
"Our price is not high for 35 million," said Simonov. This advanced fighter jet costs as much as 20 million rubles on its own production line, and it only sells for 35 million, which is a bit low.
"We are not making money by selling fighter jets, but through later maintenance." Sergei said: "As long as they pay the deposit, they are not allowed to follow our arrangements."
At this time, Mao Xiong was no longer the image of the kind big brother. There was no way. If the Soviet Union wanted to develop, it would seek breakthroughs from NATO's siege and interception. If domestic reforms were carried out, it would have to make money by relying on powerful military-industrial enterprises.
The Soviet Union also had to follow the path of market economy, and the trend of reform was already very obvious.
What I just discussed was just the price of the fighter jet. When the Wanwan people paid the deposit, they could sell the aircraft to them. However, Wanwan had to pay for the missiles and other equipment on it. More importantly, there were engines and other components, such as engines, which only had a flight life of 300 hours, and then they had to be overhauled. This initial overhaul must have been carried out in the Soviet Union, which would make them more profitable.
35 million? If it were Huaxia, it might be sold at this price. Wanwans have no suitable fighter jets to choose from. The only one that can be sold to them is France. The Frenchman’s asking price is not ordinary black.
The Soviets were ready. As long as the Wanwan was put on the trap, the subsequent profits would come with them.
At this time, the Wanwans were still immersed in the dream of obtaining the third-generation heavy air combat fighter. When he returned from the Soviet Union, Huang Xiaozong reported this to the "President" of Wanwan.
The "president" of Wanwan was also very happy. He could not allocate 2 billion US dollars for the time being, so he made up the money. He made up the money and paid it to the Soviet Union first.
The Soviet Union's reaction was also very fast. After receiving the deposit from Wanwan, in addition to accepting the pilots from Wanwan as seed instructors, he also began to deliver the first batch of Su27 according to the agreement.
A large transport plane appeared above Qingquangang Air Force Base. The plane made a huge roar. When you can see it, no one was shocked by the huge outline of the transport plane.
The thick fuselage is not like the cylindrical shape of the past, but has a pear-shaped cross-section. The main wing is a swept lower trans upper single wing with a wingspan of more than 70 meters. The cab in front of the cabin looks so small, with a huge cargo compartment below. In the four short cabins under the wings, four large thrust turbofan engines with a thrust of up to 200,000 nh.
This kind of aircraft is the pride of the Soviets, the second largest Ant124 transport aircraft in the world! The world's largest transport aircraft is still a product of the Antonov Design Bureau. The take-off weight of the Ant225 aircraft exceeds 600 tons, and there are six large thrust engines under the wings. This aircraft is to carry the Blizzard space shuttle.
The second largest An124 has a take-off weight of more than 400 tons, which is higher than the weight of the US C5 Galaxy Transporter. As for the cargo loaded, it can also exceed 150 tons.
This An 124 flew directly from Gongqingcheng. Now, the captain skillfully operated the large transport aircraft and landed on the runway of Qingquangang Air Force Base. When the row of tires came into contact with the runway, the fuselage swayed slightly.
The thrust-reverse device of the engine under the wings was quickly opened, and the large transport aircraft was slowing down rapidly, almost only slid 900 meters, and then stopped on the runway.
Huang Xiaozong and others who had been waiting beside him immediately stepped forward and looked at the stopped transport aircraft. The huge nose at the front slowly rose under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, revealing the huge belly. At the same time, the cargo compartment door behind was slowly opening.
Although transport aircraft and ordinary passenger aircraft are both large aircraft, the structure is different. Military transport aircraft and cargo hold are a complete whole. Just like now, from the front, you can always see the back. During combat, the main combat equipment for transportation can be driven up from the back and directly from the front.
The cargo hold of this transport aircraft is 36 meters long, 6 meters 4 width, 4 meters 4 height, and can even directly stuff the light passenger plane into its stomach.
Now, looking in from the raised nose here, you can see the Su27 fighter jet with the wings and tail wings removed and still slender figure!
So fast! Just half a month after formally signing the contract, these first batch of fighter planes were transported. It was so refreshing to do business with the Soviets!
Huang Xiaozong was very 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: "We first transported four Su27s this time, removed the tail wing and wings, and then assembled them. They are all new fighter jets from our production line."
If the Il 76 is coming, you can only transport two aircraft at a time, but this time the An 124 is coming. This large transport aircraft can transport four aircraft at a time!
"Thank you very much." Huang Xiaozong said: "Let's start immediately and assemble these fighter jets."
The automated loading and unloading system inside An 124 is not bad. The fighter jets tied to the slide rails have slowly appeared from inside. Looking at the shape of the fuselage and the chrysanthemums at the tail, Huang Xiaozong was even more happy. This powerful fighter jet finally appeared in Wanwan!
At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded from afar, and from far to near, several police cars drove over.
Who? Huang Xiaozong was stunned. This is Taiwan’s air force base! Even the police have absolutely no right to interfere! Moreover, why don’t the sentry standing guard outside stop?
When these cars drove closer, Huang Xiaozong saw the police car license plate clearly and his face changed. Damn, someone from the CIA!
Once, after Chiang Kai-shek evacuated the mainland, the US sent troops to Wanwan to protect Chiang Kai-shek, and the Seventh Fleet also sailed in the strait. There were a large number of US military personnel in the air force base in Wanwan.
However, after the relationship between the United States and China returned to normal, the United States agreed to China's request, recognized the principle of one China, and withdrew its own garrison from Wanwan. A large number of Wanwan women, the children in their arms had no fathers, and the American fathers were gone.
However, although the army was nominally withdrawn, it was impossible for the United States to give up its control over Bay Bay, so there are also activities of Americans on Bay Bay, including the CIA.
Now, these cars are coming from the CIA agents, and they can go anywhere on the Bay.
How did they know? Someone must have revealed the secret! Huang Xiaozong shouted in his heart, but there was no other way at this time. The Americans caught him right this time.
"Squeak." Amid the sharp brakes, the American agent came down and shouted to Huang Xiaozong: "Director Huang, what's going on?"
At this time, the transport plane was unloading the goods and could not take off again. The Soviets tactfully ran back to their planes cleanly. Even if it was Soviet territory, if the Americans dared to come up and arrest people, it would be an invasion of Soviet territory!
The Americans did not do this, but just controlled the senior officials of Wanwan on the ground. Even the Air Force Commander of Wanwan and the Commander of Qingquangang Air Force Base in the attendance were controlled by the CIA people.
Huang Xiaozong's face was pale. What's going on? Is it necessary to say? The fighter jets purchased from the Soviet Union!
The Americans learned the information in time, not only did they successfully discover the operations of the Wanwan people, but they also captured all the stolen goods! The senior management of the Wanwan who was captured back, all the inside information of the transaction was mastered by the Americans.
When the news came back to the United States, Bush Sr. was furious.
"What do Wanwan want to do? Don't they know that we can't tolerate such a transaction with the Soviets at all? And China, how could China tolerate the Soviets selling them fighter jets?" Bush's voice echoed in the White House: "Even if they want military purchases, they can only buy from us!"
Looking at the furious Bush, he was really angry by Wanwan. However, Bush seemed to have forgotten that the United States repeatedly rejected Wanwan's request to purchase F16. In this case, Wanwan had to develop its own fighter jets, but unfortunately it was restricted by the United States and created an inappropriate idf.
"Mr. President, we now know about the transaction between Bay and the Soviets, and their transaction can only be terminated." Secretary of State Baker said: "What we need to consider now is how to deal with this, fundamentally, is caused by our restrictions on Bay."
"Even if we restrict, Wanwan cannot buy Soviet fighter jets! When China protested, the Soviets did not provide subsequent accessories. Aren't these fighter jets just a pile of scrap aluminum?" Bush said.
Chapter completed!
