"Uncle Bai, there is really no other way to do this?" Xie Kai looked at Bai Yanjun in front of him. He really couldn't think of a solution.

The current situation of the base is quite different from his initial expectations.

Especially Zheng Yucheng and his team’s current thoughts and ideas.

It is too difficult to continue to invest in research and research in areas where the research and development of weapons and equipment has not been allocated by superiors and the troops have no military expenditure to purchase advanced weapons and equipment.

The current profits of the base’s civil products units are simply unable to support the research and development of military projects with a large number and a wide range of fields.

"If there is a way, we wouldn't be so embarrassed. According to Mubara's disclosure, we passed by Pakistan for a performance this time. Not only were the officials of the Ministry of Defense, but also the main person in charge of the Air Force. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so embarrassed." Bai Yanjun shook his head.

Xie Kai's brows were completely twisted, "Why don't you arrange for a performance in Pakistan when you return?"

"We originally arranged this way, and Pakistan disagreed. Given that the main fighter jets of the Pakistan Air Force are no longer able to adapt to the situation, they urgently need new advanced fighter jets to replace Phantom 3, Phantom 5 and the J-6, Qiang-5 and other fighter jets we provide." Xie Kai did not doubt Bai Yanjun's words at all.

Even in China, the J-6 was completely discontinued as early as 1983. Although the Air Force has equipped thousands of aircraft, a large number of J-6s are still in service in the Air Force, and they are even the main combat aircraft.

The domestic military also felt that the J-6 could not adapt to the current air combat situation, and no matter how much it was made, it would be useless, so it was a "peace model" project to cooperate with the United States to improve the J-8ii.

After the reform and opening up, everything has to make way for economic construction. When military scientific research is insufficient, the military is still studying more advanced fighter jets, which can illustrate many situations.

Pakistan is more urgent than the Chinese Air Force.

After fighting with them three times, the third Indian brothers, who lost 56% of their population, were desperately buying, and they were buying advanced international fighter jets.

After three rounds, Pakistan suffered a considerable loss because its weapons and equipment lag behind India. Among them, during the Second India-Pakistan War, Pakistan took a considerable advantage because of its advanced performance of fighter jets. However, later, the Indians received support from the Soviet Union, but the Americans interrupted the supply of equipment to Pakistan. In this way, Pakistan naturally suffered a great loss.

Therefore, although Pakistan's country has always been poor, it has never given up its pursuit of advanced weapons and equipment.

The Soviets would not support Pakistan, after all, Pakistan has always been following the United States; while Americans always use it when they are valuable to their younger brothers. If they have no value, they can only use it to make money.

Pakistan is too poor and still receives US military aid every year...

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see the situation." Xie Kai had no choice but to drag it first.

It is really a troublesome to not solve the engine problem.

I hope that after this Paris Air Show, the Soviets will change their minds. The possibility of war breaking out is getting smaller and smaller. What's wrong with everyone working together to make money?

The Soviet Union's money was not too much to care about, and what they lacked the most now was money.

In the afternoon of the same day, after maintenance and decoration, the Y-8 arrived at the airport of 404 again. Xie Kai was not too optimistic about this aircraft. The competition for regional passenger planes that perform civil aviation missions in the international market is fierce.

Xie Kai was not too concerned. After all, this was not their own project, but Qin Fei's. Moreover, this aircraft was too small for rich sellers and too expensive for money buyers. Even if there were business jets, only senior executives in some countries in Africa and South America might purchase them due to price issues.

Qin Fei and Su Xingguo led the team, most of them were acquaintances.

Regarding Su Xingguo's question of whether the Y-8 could obtain some orders at the Paris Air Show, Xie Kai directly changed the topic.

He can't guarantee it.

When the Y-10 appeared again, the plane was no longer the plane that was first obtained by 404. It had made many modifications, and even the name was changed to c910, with a large c910 sprayed on the tail.

After continuous improvement over the past few years, the service life of the Y-10 has increased from less than 300 hours to more than 3,000 hours. Although there is still some gap compared with Europe, America and the Soviet Union, it can at least be commercially available.

Ma Fengshan, the chief engineer of the Y-10, is still in charge of the 150-ton improvement project. This time, the team led the team, Cheng from time to time, is a relatively young vice president.

"Mr. Cheng, work hard all the way." Xie Kai's attitude towards his own people was much better.

"It's not hard, thank you for your hard work." Cheng smiled from time to time and responded to Xie Kai. After greeting other base management committees, he went to the conference room of the airport terminal for a meeting.

Xie Kai was just watching the fun and was too lazy to go to the meeting. He walked around the airport and watched the airport staff add a sub-fuel tank to Super 7a.

According to the itinerary, two C910s and one Y-8 will join forces, and the Super-7a fighter will advance northwest in the escort formation mode. After domestic refueling at Hotan Airport, it will enter Pakistan that night. At that time, Pakistan's fighter jets will lead the mixed formation.

The fighter jets are fast, and can fly more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and even the economic cruising speed of the C910 can reach more than 700 kilometers per hour. However, propeller aircraft such as the Y-8 do not have such high flight speed, with a cruise speed of only 550 kilometers per hour, and a maximum flat flight speed of only 662 kilometers per hour.

in the country, as long as you report and fly casually is not a problem.

But it's not possible abroad.

If there is a formation of fighter jets to follow, it is not easy to have accidents.

That night, after the sky dimmed, dozens of technical teams responsible for the performance maintenance of the aircraft during the entire trip gathered in front of the c910. After Zheng Yucheng personally announced the discipline, he did not say nonsense and waved his hand and asked someone to board the plane.

Two C-910s, equipped with three technical maintenance teams, are very relaxed; the Y-8 has taken off before that.

"Xie Kai, Pakistan, you think about it yourself. Most of the cooperation between the two sides is discussed with Mubara. It is best to ask them what their attitude towards the Super-7 project is now..." Before leaving, Zheng Yucheng pulled Xie Kai back again and told Xie Kai, "If it really doesn't work, don't get the order."

"I know." Xie Kai just nodded.

If he doesn't get the order, what's the point of his going?

Did you just run to the Paris Air Show to see the Soviets' Blizzard space shuttle produced by them, and the An-225, which has maintained the record of the largest takeoff weight on Earth?

Of course, if there is a chance, Xie Kai would not mind getting the plane back.

Even if it is not used to perform flight missions, it is good to use it for research. Moreover, this thing launches spacecraft, and the cost is much lower than that of rockets. Moreover, this thing can perform many transportation tasks in the future, and even have many transportation businesses in the world. I don’t know whether the Ukrainians will sell this thing after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

"Xie Kai, you should not run around when you go out this time, as things like Thailand will happen again..." Wang Guilin was a little worried.

If the American CIA still wants to kill Xie Kai, no matter how much security is, it will not be so easy to ensure safety when you are abroad.

Europe is already chaotic, and Westerners are not conspicuous at all in Europe, unlike in China, where you can see it at a glance.

Xie Kai nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Uncle Wang, I have always cared about my life."

If Wang Guilin could rest assured, he would not have said this.

"Okay, get on the plane quickly, don't run around, don't forget that you are a father." Zheng Yucheng urged Xie Kai to get on the plane. If there wasn't something that needed Xie Kai to deal with, how could Xie Kai risk going to Paris?

Watching Xie Kai board the c910, the plane quickly began to slide on the runway.

"I hope there will be no accident this time. The Soviets are really good. They have to ask him to go. It is not a good thing that a young man is so famous among the Soviets." Zheng Yucheng sighed.

If it weren't for the Soviets' requesting China to arrange for Xie Kai to go to Paris to start negotiations, Zheng Yucheng and others would not agree anyway.

Under the current circumstances, the Super-7 project requires the Soviets to provide more engines, otherwise the orders in their hands will not be able to cope with.

When Xie Kai forced himself to sell so many more than -7 to Americans, he probably didn't expect this problem.

Especially now, the orders are mainly double-engine Super-7b, and there is no possibility of exporting the Soviet engine.

Argentina's orders cannot be operated, and Pakistan's relationship with 404 will be affected, making it even more impossible to get more orders from Egypt.

"This is also impossible. Lao Xie has passed, and the security personnel of the River Crab Mercenary Group will follow him all the time, and the problem will not be too big. France is not Thailand..." Even if Wang Guilin was worried, he would not dare to think too much.

The escorted Super-7a fighter jets took off for a long time in the three large aircraft participating in the exhibition, and then took off one after another, rushing towards the sky at night.

It took off after taking off larger planes, but first landed at Hotan Airport.

Hotan Airport is just a combat readiness airport. Usually, only a few fighter jets will land when performing patrol and training missions. There are so many aircraft landing at one time, especially large aircraft like the C910, which have never landed here. This time, it was only open at a low altitude above the airport, with only 7 over-7a landings and refueling.

The huge fleet brought great vitality to this desolate airport. The officers and soldiers on duty at the airport were enthusiastic. Although they knew that the fleet would take off immediately after the refueling was completed, they were still full of energy.
Chapter completed!
