Diminov hurriedly added, "Xie, the chief designer of Balabuye is right, this is indeed the most suitable for your development. After Antonov successfully developed the An-22, he easily developed the An-124..."

This old guy is so bad.

Damn, is this telling myself that was the An-124 developed because of An-22?

I really think I don't know.

The difference between turboprops and jets is getting bigger.

Even if you have any ideas about An-22, you will never let the Ukrainians know that they must ask them to give the full set of production technologies and production lines to the Chinese An-22.

It was a complete surprise that this trip to the Soviet Union was able to get this.

Xie Kai looked at them and sighed in his heart.

These guys don't seem to stop if they don't pull a piece of meat off their bodies.

The a-22 does have many benefits to the Chinese Air Force. Even the turboprop aircraft like the Y-8 have been gnawed in China for more than 30 years.

In Xie Kai's era, since the Y-8 was put into service, Qin Fei had been chewing on the Y-8 technology, and even continuously transformed and developed, and later transformed into Y-9, as well as tactical early warning aircraft and regional passenger aircraft with Y-9 as the platform.

Xie Kai will definitely not show urgent needs now.

The Soviets themselves did not attach much importance to this already lagging strategic transport aircraft technology, so they could not expect them to pay attention to it, right?

Seeing that they were planning to brag about how suitable An-22 was for the Chinese Air Force, Xie Kai directly told these bigwigs of the Antonov Design Bureau not.

The more anxious the other party is, the less he cannot express his thoughts.

"Gentlemen, it's not that I don't know the benefits of this heavy transport aircraft to China's aviation manufacturing industry, nor that I don't know the benefits of the development of the Chinese Air Force. But we don't have much funding, and we can't afford it even if we buy it back. Now we have purchased a lot of Su-27 fighter jets, and there is no funding to purchase transport aircraft... Even small aircraft like the Y-8 are not equipped with several, and we won't have much idea about heavy strategic transport aircraft like the An-22."

Xie Kai said this, and Balaboye wanted to continue to convince him.

The chief designer Antonov wanted to tell Xie Kai that China has other benefits to introducing this heavy strategic transport aircraft.

Finally, Diminov shook his head and told him not to say anything more.

After wandering around the Antonov production workshop, Xie Kai was envious of An-124 and An-225 inside, but he did not say anything.

He also knew that heavy strategic transport aircraft such as the An-124 were useless for the current Chinese Air Force.

Similarly, the Air Force does not have any extra money to equip heavy strategic transport aircraft.

Having an idea about An-225 is only beneficial to the layout and development of the 404 base.

In order to keep heavy equipment such as a 65,000-ton large press in the 404 base, one heavy transport aircraft such as An-225 can still be purchased.

The Soviets did not express their intention to sell the An-225, nor did they show their preparations to export the An-124, the world's largest military transport aircraft technology, to China.

So, Xie Kai won't mention it.

It was almost dark and had a dinner with Antonov's people, and Xie Kai returned to the hotel.

Bai Yanjun and others were tired at this time. They were too tired to negotiate with the Soviets about the details of the contract. The prices of various products, even one dollar, would go through countless rounds of confrontation.

It is far less expensive than Xie Kai's negotiations with the Soviets, which can be raised hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars at any time.

"Where did you go? I haven't seen anyone all day, and I'm not afraid that the Soviets will attack you behind your back?" Bai Yanjun said angrily when he saw Xie Kai.

This kid is not at all conscious. Do you think the Soviets dare not attack him?

What Xie Kai revealed during the previous negotiations made the entire Soviet aviation manufacturing industry and even the Military Industry Commission very frightened.

Many Soviet people didn't know about the secrets, but Xie Kai could tell them out with his mouth.

Once the KGB strictly investigates this matter, a large number of people will be seriously affected.

"Uncle Bai, don't worry! The Soviets will not attack me now. We are their financial backers now."

Xie Kai knew that Bai Yanjun was worried about him.

He is not at all prepared.

Otherwise, when I went out today, I wouldn't have brought a few security personnel.

If it were the same personality as before, he would go to the Soviets alone to watch the fun.

I wanted to tell Bai Yanjun last night, but Bai Yanjun negotiated with the Soviets and did not come back all night, and there was no one before leaving in the morning.

Bai Yanjunxu narrowed his eyes and said to Xie Kai angrily: "You guys are so proud. Sooner or later, you will know that the pot is made of iron! You don't know what you said, how big a thing has happened in the Soviet Union. During the negotiations these days, we learned from the Soviet personnel that many people do not understand the flaws and projects you mentioned, and the Soviet Union has begun an investigation..."

Xie Kai couldn't explain to Bai Yanjun how he knew the news.

I could only smile awkwardly.

"Uncle Bai, this is all said on purpose. If a country's technical secrets are leaked to this extent, how many technical personnel and management will be severely dealt with? Even if there is not enough evidence, they will be suspended..."

When Xie Kai said this to the Soviet senior leaders, he did not consider the consequences.

He knew very well how serious the consequences were and how much impact it would have on the Soviet Union, but this situation was what he expected to see.

Until now, the Soviet economy has been unable to support the huge air force dress-up plan and is not enough to support various military projects.

The huge military system is on the verge of bankruptcy and countless technical personnel need to be supported. At this time, the Soviet Union's strict investigation of leaked secrets will cause many core technical personnel to stand aside.

Before the investigation was made, the Soviets would not allow these suspected technicians to continue to participate in the project work.

Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, these technicians would not have a good life. Only in this way can it be easier to convince these technicians to come to China.

The more the Soviet technicians were, the easier it was to convince them.

Once the Soviet Union collapses, these Soviet technicians who have not been investigated but have been in a down-and-out life will become the first Soviet technicians to be attracted by the 404 base with generous conditions.

Bai Yanjun looked at Xie Kai and sighed, helpless and worried.

"You guys do this, you will become a global public enemy."

Xie Kai shrugged indifferently.

"So what if it is a public enemy? As long as it is good for the country, and the Soviet technicians, if they return to their country, don't worry about them running away, and their country will no longer exist."

"The base should now expand the construction scale of the Soviet expert building. At that time, there will be family members who will follow the technicians. We must make long-term plans to allow them to take root in China for a long time and make contributions to China's national defense cause."

Bai Yanjun now knows the huge plan that Base 404 began planning a few years ago.

For this plan, countless people have begun to do various preliminary preparations.

Looking at Xie Kai: "By the way, when will your uncle come back?"

Xie Kai didn't know when Liu Dongsheng would come back, so he shook his head.

Looking at Bai Yanjun, he said, "By the way, Uncle Bai, I am going to help Qin Fei get the heavy transport aircraft An-22 back. What do you think?"

Bai Yanjun suddenly became furious, "You kid are crazy! How can you have so much money and energy?"

Bai Yanjun has another reason not to say. Until now, Qin Fei has not even digested the technology of the An-12 medium-sized transport aircraft. It is not a good thing for Qin Fei to introduce a more advanced technology and more complex heavy turboprop aircraft.

If you greedy for too much, you won’t be able to chew it.

Looking at Xie Kai's firm eyes, Bai Yanjun was worried that he would convince him, and even more afraid that he would not be able to resist Xie Kai's persuasion.

I simply told Xie Kai directly, "The turboprop transporter is already behind. Besides, the An-22 you mentioned has been discontinued, and they don't have much equipment."

"Uncle Bai, the An-22 was discontinued because of its performance backwardness. The Soviets were cheated. Judging from the comprehensive performance indicators, the An-22 is a little stronger than the so-called strategic and tactical all-in-one C-17 that the United States is developing, but it is a bit slower, which is not a big problem."

"How is this possible? If the overall performance is really strong, why would the Soviets give up?"

Bai Yanjun didn't believe Xie Kai's reason at all.

Bai Yanjun is not sure what the military transport aircraft project is being studied by the Americans.

How is it possible to convince Bai Yanjun that the large transport aircraft that the Americans are studying are worse than the turboprop aircraft that the Soviets studied in the 1970s?

He did not have Xie Kai's news channel, and even Zheng Yucheng and others seemed to be completely aware of Xie Kai's news source, so Bai Yanjun was naturally too lazy to pursue the source.

"The An-22 is considered a defect, but it is actually because it uses a turbofan engine, and its transportation capacity and range are excellent. It is the most suitable for the development of our Air Force. The jet consumption is too high, and the An-22's cruising speed reaches 680 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flat flight speed is 740 kilometers per hour. The Y-8's cruising speed is only 550 kilometers per hour, and the maximum flat flight speed is only 662 kilometers per hour..."

Xie Kai directly took out the performance to compare.

The main transport aircraft of the Air Force is the Y-8, and its performance is really not very good.

Whether it is load capacity or range, the Y-8 cannot compare with the An-22.

"The Soviets gave up An-22 because they were misled by the Americans."

Bai Yanjun was angry and laughed. The more he said this kid became more outrageous.

"You tell me, how did the Soviet Union be misled by the Americans."

Xie Kai's statement has no reason at all.

The Soviet Union and the United States are the biggest competitors, and the two countries have been wrestling for almost half a century.

The Soviet Union was so powerful that there was no possibility of being misled by the Americans.

The An-22 is really good, would the Soviets be so stupid that they gave up such a transport aircraft? It was developed in the 1960s and stopped production in 1974.
