Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

After a few minutes, seeing that General Liu had almost accepted it, Lin Kaifeng continued his analysis.

"The Army Group in Prussia has only one mission: to fight against the hundreds of thousands of other U.S. troops deployed in Europe."

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, all types of military supplies, military expenses and daily necessities are given priority in supplying the Soviet Union's garrison in East Prussia. The commander-in-chief of the garrison is equivalent to the emperor sent by the Soviet Union to East Prussia, and is even more equivalent to the king of this independent kingdom."

"General Constantine served as the emperor in East Prussia for nearly ten years. He was transferred back to China last year and became the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army Group. Although his position was promoted, his power plummeted."

"I think this is probably a demotion in name only. The former is the emperor of East Prussia and has a lot of power in his hands."

"After returning to China and taking up a post in the Far East as a garrison commander, all the good days before were gone."

In terms of military funding and material allocation, the Soviet Union has always given priority to supplying overseas troops.

During the period of national strength, the treatment of overseas troops and domestic defense forces was almost the same.

By the late 70s and early 80s, the Soviet Union's national strength had plummeted.

The Soviet Union still maintained adequate supplies for its overseas troops.

Once the treatment of overseas troops is reduced, it will inevitably lead to low morale and a decline in combat effectiveness.

Not only would it fail to help the Soviet Union fight against the West, it would even lead to a large number of defections and intelligence leaks.

This is a long time.

While overseas troops continue to live a good life, the domestic defense forces, which have suffered funding cuts, are having a harder time.

General Constantine, who had been used to being the emperor, was transferred back to his country to take up a post.

Being promoted in name only but demoted in reality was enough to make him angry.

What they took over was another mess. How could they guarantee the morale of the army if they didn't sell weapons?

How can he sustain his extravagant lifestyle?

Other weapons and equipment may not be able to be sold at sky-high prices. If General Constantine wants to make a lot of money, he can only focus on new weapons.

The higher-ups were being unkind to him, so why should General Constantine give them face?

After hearing this, General Liu remained silent.

Northern Machinery Group is the only large enterprise that Longguo can boast of.

Over the years, Lin Kaifeng has made many big moves in the international market.

Let’s not talk about anything else for now.

Just recently, for example, Lin Kaifeng was engaged in open and secret struggles with island country companies.

This business war was widely reported, and even in Africa, where information was relatively isolated, there were news reports on it.

The Soviet Union could not have been unaware that the Northern Machinery Group was a large and wealthy company.

It seems that General Constantine really treats this matter as a business.

Since it is a business, it has the characteristics of bargaining.

After a while, General Liu said, "Please analyze it again. If he is willing to sell us the Su-27 fighter jets, how much will one cost? Can we exchange them for goods as before?"

If he could really buy the Su-27 fighter jet, General Liu would wake up laughing in his sleep.

The Soviet Union itself did not have many of the Su-1 fighter jets that were put into service in January this year.

Once a certain number of Su-27 fighter jets are obtained, domestic military scientific research personnel will inevitably absorb a large amount of the core technology of this fighter jet if they have sufficient funds.

Even if it cannot be copied, it can greatly improve the overall combat level of other domestic fighter jets.

Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly and said, "Old General, I can't give you any clear answer to this question right now."

"After all, the content of this transaction is more complicated than our previous foreign companies. The Su-27 fighter is the latest fighter of the Soviet Union, and the price will definitely not be cheap."

"But don't worry. If it is possible to exchange goods, I will definitely try my best to facilitate the transaction. Even if it is not possible to exchange all the goods, I will try my best to save us money. It would be best if it is half payment and half goods."

"Oh! So that's how it is!!!"

Suddenly, Lin Kaifeng slapped his forehead.

No wonder General Constantine was transferred back to the country, it turned out to be a matter of time.

General Liu wondered, "What's wrong with you?"

"Old General, I seem to understand why General Constantine was transferred."

"why?"

General Liu said hurriedly.

Lin Kaifeng said: "A new emperor appoints new ministers."

"understood."

Through this sentence, General Liu fully understood what Lin Kaifeng wanted to express.

In March this year, the number one figure in the Soviet Union passed away.

As early as the end of last year, the number one figure in the Soviet Union was already in a serious condition and unable to manage affairs.

I was admitted to the hospital in November and stayed there until March.

For a full four months, all major and minor matters of the Soviet Alliance fell into the hands of his deputy.

They probably expected that this person would not live long, so they made the deployment in secret.

Appoint your own people to important positions.

Those who are not in agreement with you will be transferred away or demoted in secret.

Free up important positions to place trusted people.

Compared to General Liu, Lin Kaifeng knows more.

General Constantine was obviously implicated.

In 1983, a senior member of the Soviet Union was admitted to the hospital for hospice care due to various old age diseases.

Before his death, the boss left a will.

Appointed Mikhail as his successor.

Unexpectedly, the deputy tampered with the will and took over the man's position.

He kicked Mikhail away and snatched the throne that belonged to Mikhail.

Before he could even get comfortable in his seat, this big shot was also sent to the hospital and received end-of-life care.

Mikhail now has a chance to take back what belongs to him.

Because they are worried that their positions will become unstable, they will definitely have to carry out a round of purges and personnel transfers.

"Comrade, please step out for a moment."

General Liu glanced at Zhou Weidong.

After Zhou Weidong left, General Liu stood up and said, "So, you plan to go to the Far East in person and deal with Constantine?"

Lin Kaifeng said seriously: "Old General, who else do you think can take on this mission besides me? I am the general manager of Northern Machinery Group, and I know better than anyone else how to deal with such people."

"If I go there in person, I may encounter some unexpected dangers, but compared with the dangers, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I will try to get a few Su-27 fighters for our country."

Lin Kaifeng was firm in his attitude.

The importance of the Su-27 fighter is unquestionable.

Whether now or in the next decade or so, the Su-27 fighter will always be an important presence in the international military field.

When doing business this time, Lin Kaifeng will make preparations for both scenarios.

On the one hand, we raised a large amount of materials, and on the other hand, we raised foreign exchange.

Either don't buy it, or buy a larger batch.

Lin Kaifeng dares to buy as much as the other party sells.

Once this relationship is established, the introduction of the Su-27 fighter jets will be just the beginning.

T80 tanks, various types of fighter jets, bombers, warships, aircraft carriers, and underwater submarines.

A large number of advanced military equipment will continue to flow into Dragon Country.

even.

Lin Kaifeng also plans to purchase a strategic weapon.

Boreas' drawings and technicians.
