Chapter 210 Want an aircraft carrier? Can't walk yet, take off first? The 077 Mechanical Arsenal does have a third-generation fighter design and development project, but is currently facing an important decision-making problem. They are struggling with whether they should develop the third-generation fighter jet from scratch. It is still necessary to modify the Dragon Shadow fighter to improve its performance to the level of a third-generation fighter and develop a fighter version suitable for use by other services. "Now we are not sure whether to transform it based on the original basis or redesign a brand new third-generation fighter." Lin Chenran stretched out his hands and waved them helplessly, indicating that it was difficult to make a decision. Hearing this, Elder Wei started to curse: "You kid, are you still disgusted?" In fact, the outstanding performance of the Dragon Shadow fighter has attracted widespread attention from the international community. Many countries have shown great interest in this fighter and are willing to contact the Yan State officials in the hope of introducing it. The outstanding performance of the Dragon Shadow fighter also surprised the Yan State military. Especially not long ago, when Pakistan's four Dragon Shadow fighter jets confronted Baixiang's four fighter jets, they showed their strong strength and easily crushed their opponents. This incident brought great exposure to the Dragon Shadow Fighter, further enhancing its reputation and influence.
"Mr. Wei, it's not that our 077 Mechanical Military Factory dislikes it, but developing a new version based on the Dragon Shadow fighter will be subject to certain restrictions from Pakistan." Pakistan has invested a huge amount of money in the Longying fighter project, and it is impossible for the 077 Machinery Military Factory to directly bypass the other side. It is upgraded and modified based on the Dragon Shadow fighter. Unless Pakistan is given enough benefits. There are only interests between countries. Don't talk about allies! The most reliable allies are false. With huge benefits, the other party will also reap your wealth. Right! Eagle sauce! ally? That's for selling out. If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it comes alive; With 50% profit, it takes risks; …… With a profit of 300%, it dares to commit any crime, even the risk of being hanged. …… Lin Chenran's words made Mr. Wei hesitate. He had forgotten that Pakistan had a part in the Dragon Shadow fighter project. "Then you, the 077 Mechanical Arsenal, decide for yourselves!" "If they really develop a third-generation fighter, they can only sell the export version." Old Wei gave Lin Chenran a slight reminder. Don't sell all the good stuff to other countries while the weapons and equipment used by your own army are still relatively backward.
But Mr. Wei did not say this, because he knew that Lin Chenran would definitely have something to say back. It’s because the Yan State’s military expenditure is relatively small. …… Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wei brought Lin Chenran another piece of news. "Lin, our superiors have agreed to the idea of the Arctic route you proposed earlier." "When will you go north to negotiate with the Russians?" There was no news about the previous "Arctic Route" concept because the domestic interests involved had not yet been distributed. And now the domestic benefits have been distributed. Mr. Wei will connect with Lin Chenran! "Mr. Wei, I thought you didn't want to build this Arctic route?" Upon hearing this, Lin Chenran hesitated at first, then smiled bitterly. Lin Chenran secretly thought that it was time to go north to discuss the "Arctic Route" with the Russian Bear. Winter is just a few months away. "This time, after I return to the 077 Mechanical Military Factory, I will take care of some matters and then head north to the Russian Bear." Lin Chenran directly told him the next arrangements. Hearing this, Wei Lao raised his lips and said, "This time, the official members will follow you to the north to the bear, and then..." The stakes involved in the Arctic route proposal are enormous. So big that it can improve the relationship between Yan Country and the Russian Bear. …… The Eagle Sauce began to be wary of the Yan Kingdom intentionally or unintentionally. The top leaders of Yan Country are also thinking about the interests of the "Arctic Route" and improving their tense relationship with Russia. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world. …… Lin Chenran was surprised when he heard this. There were actually official people following him to the north on this trip to the Russian bear? "Lin, you can talk to your allies and let them have a share of the profits, but in the end it will still be the country that comes forward." Mr. Wei doesn’t mind Lin Chenran’s “allies” among the Russian bears getting a share of the Arctic shipping routes. This helps maintain relationships better. "Don't worry, Mr. Wei. I will keep it secret." The Arctic route also requires the support of the Russian Far East Fleet. "When you go to the Russian Bear, see if you can get the Varyag aircraft carrier from your opponent."
(For the sake of this book, I have moved up the time!) "According to intelligence, Russia is currently unable to build the Varyag aircraft carrier and wants to seal it up and build it later when it has the funds." Mr. Wei conveyed the ideas of the Yan Kingdom Navy. Previously, the 60 billion US dollars from Saudi Arabia in the Camel area had already entered the "pocket" of the Yan State military and then been distributed. This time, the Yan Kingdom Navy also received a large amount of funds. Now, the Yan Country Navy wants to "make a big move" and directly wants the Varyag aircraft carrier that is about to be sealed up in the hands of the Russian Bear. Although the Varyag is an aircraft carrier, it has only completed its overall framework and is still a long way from being delivered. Upon hearing this, Lin Chenran immediately gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Wei, is the navy too anxious?" "Isn't the Russian bear at its weakest moment now? Do you want to get the Varyag aircraft carrier from it?" “There is almost no room for maneuver!” It’s not that Lin Chenran doesn’t want to help the Yan Kingdom Navy, but the Yan Kingdom Navy is really anxious! Now the Yan State Navy does not want an aircraft carrier, but to replenish other warships. A guided missile destroyer has just been commissioned. The rest of the carrier's escort was not ready. An aircraft carrier becomes a "live target"? The Yan State Navy does not have advanced cruisers, missile frigates, supply ships, etc. All of these need to be matched! Thinking about taking off before you even learn to walk? "Mr. Wei, please inform the navy leaders that the Varyag must be ours, but not now. The chance of getting it from the Russian bear now is zero." "The bear is not that weak yet, so we should not pluck its hair." Then Lin Chenran told part of the plan. "This time when I go north to Russia, I will first ask Russia for a scrapped aircraft carrier to be used as an aircraft carrier theme restaurant or an aircraft carrier patriotism park." "The reason for doing this is to paralyze the enemy." "When the time is right, I will use the same approach to acquire the Varyag aircraft carrier from the Russian bear at a low price." Lin Chenran's plan won praise from Mr. Wei again and again. This plan can really be said to be perfect. Then Lin Chenran expressed his thoughts: "The navy needs to develop other warships now. The warships they have are all outdated and cannot meet the needs of modern warfare." (End of this chapter)
