1279 Under the interests of the Soviet Union, Mikoyan was betrayed

"You do this completely to make the conflict between Sukhoi and Migoyang bigger. The engine factory of Migoyang system provides us with engines, but it makes Sukhoi sell fighter jets. It's unlikely."

Bai Yanjun looked at Xie Kai with a wry smile.

He didn't know how Xie Kai had such a strange idea.

Using Sukhoi's urgent hope of exporting fighter jets to solve the shortage of operation rates, they asked them to help solve problems, and even put pressure on the Soviet senior management to make the engine manufacturer of Migoyang system agree to export the rd-33 engine to China.

Ge Minglang looked at Xie Kai from the side, "Maybe we can consider the al-31. Since Sukhoi is willing to provide it, it is a good thing for our development to get an advanced engine with stronger thrust, better performance, and lower fuel consumption."

Xie Kai rolled his eyes directly as he listened to Ge Minglang's words.

"Mr. Ge, the al-31 engine is indeed much stronger than the rd-33 engine. After we get it, if it is used for the Super-7 project, how long will it take to modify the design of the fighter jet take? Even the entire power system will be changed. Can the customer wait for that long?"

"If the customer can't wait for so long, there will be variables after a long time. If you lose the opportunity, you will never be able to find it again." Bai Yanjun shook his head.

Xie Kai also didn't want to see such an opportunity lost.

Looking at the two, Xie Kai also knew what they were worried about and continued: "What's more, don't forget that the country is developing engine research. Once there is an engine, it will take a huge amount of money to make a breakthrough in a short period of time. What will happen if the domestic engine is not able to make a breakthrough?"

Xie Kai did not finish speaking, but Ge Minglang shuddered.

If that happens, domestic engines will never have a way out.

Currently, the Super-7 projects are globally used for the use of imported engines, which is definitely not a problem.

If the Super-7b used for the domestic air force and the J-10 that Rongfei is developing also use imported engines, domestic engines will be dead.

Such things must not be done.

"Actually, there is no need to think too much. As the current situation, unless the Soviets would rather shut down than give us benefits, they would have to provide us with the engine."

The situation in the Soviet Union was already very bad.

Without weapons and equipment exports, they can't live a life.

That's why Xie Kai is so sure.

It depends on who can withstand it.

Bai Yanjun also nodded and agreed with Xie Kai's opinion: "Then contact the country and ask the Air Force chief for help. If the Soviet Union takes the initiative to sell Su-27 to the Air Force and conducts it in the form of package negotiations. The Soviet Union does not provide supporting rd-33 engines, the Su-27 fighter jets will not be purchased in China."

If it weren't for the past, the Air Force wouldn't agree to such a request.

The Air Force needs to be equipped with more advanced fighter jets, especially the naval aviation force. The fighter jets have insufficient range and cannot even effectively protect the interests of the small ponds in the South China Sea.

The Su-27 happens to be one of the best fighter jets in the world. The only one that can compete with the Su-27 is the US F-15.

Although the Air Force urgently needs it, the Air Force will definitely help if it affects the export orders for 404 to thousands of fighter jets, and the Ministry of National Defense will not refuse.

Orders for thousands of fighter jets are not just one or two billion US dollars in transaction volume.

It is the huge transaction volume that has improved and driven the overall national defense technical strength.

"General Manager, the Chinese are too much. Knowing that we have a disagreement with Migoyang's system, we have made requests, which obviously intensified the conflict between us and Migoyang's system, and they benefited from it."

On the way back, Chervakov looked angry.

The Chinese are too shameless.

On the way they came before, they had imagined many situations, and even thought that China would significantly lower prices.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese did not negotiate prices like before, or asked for technology, and directly asked them to help with the rd-33 engine.

Sukhoi helped to get the engine of the Migoyang system. What do people in the Migoyang system think?

What did the Soviet senior officials think?

Mikhail didn't say anything, he was thinking about what the purpose of the Chinese was.

It's really too abnormal.

Previously, when Chinese people imported equipment, they not only needed equipment, but also required the import of technology.

"They may just have no choice. With the MiG-29 and F-16 crashing one after another and our Su-27 almost happened, the Super-7a with excellent performance became the biggest winner. Except for our country's ban on exporting engines, no one can stop the Chinese from selling fighter jets..." Mikhail could see clearly.

He considered more, mainly from this, how much benefits Sukhoi could get.

Offending Migoyan is not a big problem. It is mainly necessary to measure whether doing this can bring greater benefits and whether Sukhoi can take advantage of such an opportunity to get more orders.

When Mishavicovsky saw the two of them come back, he asked directly, "How are you talking to the Chinese? How much are they willing to purchase?"

Even Ogle Bakranov, who has always opposed cooperation with China, looked at the two of them with anticipation.

The fighter jet factory in the Soviet Union needed orders to start construction.

During this Paris Air Show, due to an unexpected accident, they have not ordered a single fighter jet so far.

As the Chairman of the Military Industry Commission, it is impossible not to be in a hurry.

China has a very large demand for Su-27 fighter jets.

Although China may not have money, China has the light industrial products needed by the Soviet Union.

It can barter with China so that everyone's economy can be improved.

"China has a lot of demand for the Su-27, but they have made a request to allow domestic approval to export rd-33 engines."

Seeing that the general manager did not speak, Chervakov secretly glanced at Alexey Fedrov, general manager of the Mindiev Machinery Factory, and then spoke to the elders.

"Impossible!" Alexey Philodrov jumped up.

Sukhoi's bastards, for their own interests, actually ignored Mi Gaoyang's life and death.

Exporting the rd-33 engine will seriously affect the export orders of the MiG-29 and squeeze out the MiG-29 market space.

"Why is it impossible? What's impossible?" Mikhail asked Alexei calmly.

Alexey roared: "Once the Chinese provide a large number of rd-33 engines, the MiG-29 order will be seriously affected! This will not affect your Sukhoi's Su-27!"

Migoyang knows more than anyone else. So far, it is difficult for MiG-29 to gain recognition from market users.

But this is not a reason they provide engines for the Chinese to steal more markets.

The bigwigs of the Ministry of Aviation Industry and the Military Commission looked at them silently, and no one spoke.

They are also evaluating what impact the Chinese put forward such conditions will have on the entire Soviet military system.

Chervakov stood up and looked at Alexey and said coldly: "According to our news, the Chinese are currently working on key issues across the country, mobilizing the industrial and technological strength of the entire country to fully develop the core engine of the turbofan engine. Moreover, their turbofan-6 has entered the final service life improvement stage. In this case, if we refuse to export the engine, it will only force the Chinese to invest more in the engine. Once the Chinese develop the core engine, we will never have the chance to export any engine, which will be a loss to the entire country!"

The Chinese gathered the whole country to build aviation engines, and the whole world knew about it.

In this regard, China has not done any confidentiality work.

However, the outside world has no idea about their R&D progress.

Chervakov did not stop here, scanned everyone present, and added: "Also, if we do not export, Western countries will also provide engines to China. For a long time, as long as the Chinese are about to make breakthroughs in certain fields, Western countries will export relevant technologies that they have lagged behind to China, thereby delaying China's technological development and squeezing the market space of Chinese technology products!"

The Soviet Union knew very well the attitude of Westerners.

This has always been done like this.

Even with the existence of the Paris Coordination Committee and even if it reached an agreement to embargo against China with the Soviet Union, they would still do that.

Just like now, for the sake of interests and pressure from the Soviet Union, the West has engaged in a lot of military and technological cooperation with China.

These technologies involve many equipments of the navy, army, air and military.

However, the Soviet Union still embargoed China, and the West made a lot of money and China's technology also made great progress.

"In addition, a large number of factories have been unable to start construction due to insufficient orders in China. Export engines can not only make relevant factories reopen, but also gain more benefits and squeeze the profit margins of the Chinese!"

Mikhail is still very satisfied with his business manager.

Looking at the room full of big men, he said, "Comrades, please think about it. If the Chinese get Western engine supply, their fighter jets can still be sold, and they will even get more orders because of Western technology. What benefits can we get in this situation?"

It is definitely not in line with the interests of the Soviet Union when China cooperates with the West.

For the Soviet Union, large-scale export of engines to China was not in the interests of the Soviet Union, especially the engines obtained by China were for exporting to the world, which would put greater pressure on the badly famous Soviet fighter jets and make it more difficult to obtain market orders.

If the engine is not exported to China, and even the West does not export engines, China will lose these orders, and the Soviet Union will not get them either.

The final order will be monopolized by Western countries, and for the Soviet Union, it is even more in line with national interests.

Mishavicovsky looked at the others, not wanting to speak.

He has a good private relationship with China, especially the friendship he established in college with Xie Jianguo and others.

But now, he has to speak.
