"The J-8ii arrives early, and there will be a longer time for the Western world to report. We should arrive early." Wang Guilin felt that ten days were too short.

The pilot will be very tired after a transition of tens of thousands of kilometers.

This is a severe test of the stability of the fighter jet.

Several super-7a at the base have been flying for at least more than 300 hours. According to the manufacturing level of the fighter jets equipped by the Air Force, the overhaul time is about to reach the overhaul time. Even the rd-33 engine is approaching the overhaul time.

Soviet engines had a short service life, usually only a few hundred hours, and the cost of later maintenance was very high.

Long-term continuous flights, coupled with being abroad, domestic technicians from various countries are not very familiar with the maintenance equipment, so problems are prone to occur.

"It's useless to worry about these things. Although it's about participating in the exhibition, this time we can also let our technicians communicate with technicians from other countries and learn from foreign experience..." Zheng Yucheng was so excited.

Yue Lin didn't interrupt and listened from the side.

Bai Yanjun and others were too lazy to pay attention to them. Everyone was very busy. These two old guys are becoming less and less concerned about the logistics support issues for the flight teams participating in the exhibition during this period, but now they are worried about these things.

"Actually, we have benefits. When the J-8ii is assembled there, only those participating in the air show can see it. The specific performance is not easy to see it intuitively." Xie Kai saw that these old guys had lost their previous passion and were worried about everything they did. He was also a little unhappy, but when it was time to cheer them up, they could not discourage them, otherwise, they would have nothing to do. "Let's talk about logistics support. Flying from China, there is no problem in Pakistan. Pakistan will also be equipped with a super-7a, and the logistics system has almost been established. Not to mention Egypt, it has been equipped with troops..."

It is said that it is a negotiation, but the most important thing is to discuss what happened after entering a European country.

Using airports in European countries, the cost is not a little low, and repairs are not that convenient.

At present, there are not enough translators, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce, so there are naturally not so many in the base. Moreover, not many technicians at the base know too many foreign languages. Even those who know foreign languages ​​are mostly Russian. This was learned by the Soviet elder brother who helped China's industrial infrastructure after the founding of New China.

There are some differences between professional language and ordinary communication language.

But just this difference is prone to problems.

Once there is a problem with the communication, this will have a greater impact on the itinerary.

"The base has mobilized ten technicians who understand our relevant languages ​​through the country. The ten-day itinerary is not a problem, and the first seven days are mainly in Pakistan and Egypt. The remaining three days are in Greece, Italy and France... In addition to the two Super-7a participating in the static display, the others used for flight performances will be evacuated at the end of the performance..." Yue Lin introduced the entire itinerary.

Officials from all countries have already communicated. Even if these fighter jets participating in the Paris Air Show only rest for one night in various countries and add some fuel, the price is still expensive.

"The model ammunition was transported by the -10 model, and these have been reported to the countries that are in the route, so there will be no problems. Pakistan needs to evaluate the Super-7a in all aspects. Their Air Force ordered the US F-16, and some problems occurred during the delivery period..." Wang Guilin also introduced his situation, "In addition, Egypt expressed his strong interest in Super-7b..."

"Egypt wants to surpass -7b?" Xie Kai asked incredible.

Egypt should be the target of the United States and Western countries. When Egypt was mingling with the Soviet Union, it guarded the Suez Canal, which made Western countries where oil and goods needed to pass through the canal like a thorn in their throats.

Several wars broke out for this canal.

It was finally made Egypt fall to the Western countries.

"The Soviets are no longer able to do it." Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"This is normal. If the Soviet Union is no longer able to do so and the United States is dominant, there is no need to win over anyone. If anyone blocks their interests, they can deal with whom they are at ease." Xie Kai sighed.

No one can stop the wheel of history.

Even if he was reborn in the Soviet Union, in 1986, it would be impossible to save the Soviet Union, which was too serious because of its industrial development.

Unless the Soviet Union is like China, with such great courage and determination to carry out reform and opening up, reduce the proportion of heavy industry investment, and invest funds in light industries that are related to people's livelihood.

This way, there is almost no possibility.

The competition between the Soviet Union and the United States has never eased since World War II, and it is almost a battle to die.

Two superpowers exist at the same time. No one wants to be a big brother in this world. Without a winner, no one can bow their heads and listen to each other.

What's more, this is also related to national interests.

"If the Soviet Union continued to compete with the United States, we would lose a lot of opportunities." Wang Guilin said leisurely.

If the Soviet Union was still at the same level, the United States would give all kinds of benefits to win over some countries in order to avoid being attracted by the Soviet Union.

Once you don't need it, you naturally don't need to give so many benefits.

Just like now, the Soviet Union is no longer able to do so, and the domestic economy cannot support their various plans, and it is even more trapped in the huge quagmire of the Afghan war. It is almost impossible to attack Pakistan through Afghanistan and obtain an outlet to the Indian Ocean.

It will not provide Pakistan with more advanced fighter jets and will not have any impact.

"This is not the main reason. What's more important is that the United States has no money anymore. The F-16 provided to Pakistan is almost all military aid, and Pakistan does not pay much. The US finances cannot support it." Xie Kai knew the inside story.

Until now, the competition has been almost half a century, and the economy of both sides has long been unable to support it, but no one is willing to give up.

The United States robbed their younger brothers and printed US dollars to make up for the deficit of the fiscal deficit. The Soviet Union also robbed their franchise republics to deal with the competition with the United States. However, the Soviet Union's franchise republics were completely unable to compete with the many American younger brothers.

Japan and West Germany's economy are among the top in the world. Once they take advantage of the wool, they can support the United States' military expenditure for several years, but the Soviet Union cannot do it.

"Okay, let's talk about Pakistan. Their Air Force has already invested, and now we have not been able to get a clear answer from us because of the engine problem. This time our flight team passed by, and their military leaders, especially the Air Force leaders, would observe..." Zheng Yucheng was worried about this problem.

Pakistan wants fighter jets.

At the beginning, the R&D funding was $250 million, but now it has not received a single fighter plane.

"What's going on with our engine?" Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng and the others.

The matter of engine joint public relations has been underway.

Xie Kai knew that it was impossible to achieve results so quickly, at least he knew when he could solve these problems and develop engines.

If it really doesn't work, the turbofan-6 can barely last for a few years, but the bad thing is that the engine life is too short and the maintenance cost is too high.

"It's just now that the basic materials and processing are restricted. If the material problem is not solved, everything else will be difficult to achieve." Bai Yanjun looked helpless. "The deeper he went, the more he found that things were not as simple as we originally thought. We originally thought that the most basic high-temperature alloys and titanium alloys were solved, and the problem would not be too big. But now we need to mass-produce these materials into parts, require various processing equipment, and even processing tools...."

Everyone knows these aspects.

Otherwise, the research on a single engine would not require hundreds of billions of dollars.

Fortunately, the military and the Ministry of Industry came to help share most of the funds, otherwise the funds that could be mobilized from 404 will probably be unable to continue due to the break of the capital chain.

"It doesn't matter. Take your time. These basic technical equipment are not needed for us to manufacture engines. Fighters and missiles also need to be used, and there are more civilian fields..." Xie Kai comforted them.

He felt that he should not ask such questions.

With Minister Shen Hong, the master in charge of the work, there is no need to worry about anything else.

What you need to consider now is to cope with orders.

Once you lose it, it will not be so easy to get it back.

The customers who can sell Chinese equipment are basically not rich customers.

"We will stay in Pakistan for three days, and we will have an air show the next day we arrive, and we will likely sign a procurement contract at this time."

What Wang Guilin and others are worried about is this.

The contract in Pakistan cannot be delayed.

"The Soviets did not let go and still did not agree to export the engine. The main reason was that their conditions were too high..." Xie Jianguo felt a little embarrassed when he saw Xie Kai looking at him.

He had negotiated with the Soviets for such a long time, and it was about friendship and feelings, and they were not willing to sell it at all.

On the surface, the Soviets asked for too high prices, but in fact they just didn't want to sell them.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries are recovering, and the Soviets will naturally not fail to do anything on the surface.

"If there is really an order, sign the intention contract first, and the delivery period will be extended..." Xie Kai suggested, "When in Paris, talk to the Soviets."

If the Soviet Union collapsed, all problems would no longer be problems.

But now there are still two years left before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

When the Soviet Union had just collapsed, the domestic chaos was too good. At night, the government would take shock therapy for the national economy and ignore anything. Even if the order was placed at that time, it would take quite a while to get the engine.

Without the existence of the Soviet Union, even if the Da Mao inherited most of the industrial systems, the domestic production speed was not enough compared to that of the Soviet Union at its peak.

Many factories are even abandoned, and they live worse than many military factories that have lost orders after China's reform and opening up.

At least the Chinese government will support workers and their families without business...

The Soviet Union collapsed and the government disappeared....m.
