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

Before coming here this time, Lin Kaifeng did two major things.

Through the military, we contacted domestic wineries.

Working overtime, they brew no less than one million bottles of high-proof liquor.

At the same time, Lin Kaifeng personally paid a visit to his old leader.

Elaborate on the necessity of supporting the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union may collapse, but when it collapses must be firmly in the hands of the Dragon State.

There are three purposes for doing this.

If the Soviet Union collapses within a few years, Longguo may not have enough time to make comprehensive preparations.

It is impossible to be 100% sure of competing with the United States and dealing with the joint attack by the United States and the West.

When will Longguo be confident enough to compete with the entire West?

Only then will the Soviet Union end its historical mission.

Also.

The Soviet Union is a large and powerful country, and it may not be possible to evacuate it within a few years.

The Soviet Union must not collapse before all its assets are emptied out.

Assuming that the Soviet Union collapsed without warning, it would not be just Longguo that would be eyeing the Soviet Union's assets.

By then, the United States and European countries.

Even island countries will get involved.

The Eastern Bloc was established under the leadership of the Soviet Union.

For a long time, dozens of countries in the Eastern Bloc have been following the lead of the Soviet Union.

As long as the Soviet Union is still alive and has some breath left in it, the Eastern Bloc will not collapse.

Once the Soviet Union collapses, the Eastern Bloc will no longer exist, leading to earth-shaking changes in the world pattern.

The Eastern bloc disappeared, the Western bloc became the only dominant country, and the United States became the only superpower.

These changes are not in line with the national interests of Longguo.

It will take time for Longguo to gradually replace the Soviet Union and become the big brother of the Eastern Bloc.

There is nothing wrong with the existence of the Eastern Bloc.

What was wrong was the economic system implemented by the Soviet Union, the heavy taxation and overbearing patriarchal style within the camp.

Just fix these problems.

The Eastern Bloc will be revitalized.

Return to the right track and pick up your former ideals again.

"You...are you really willing to give these things to me as a gift?"

Lieutenant General Sergei said half-believingly.

"Comrade Sergey, the premise of cooperation is sincerity. Do you understand what I mean?"

"These things may not be worth much in normal times, but now, no matter how much money you have, you probably can't buy them."

The only lesson mankind can learn from history is that it will never learn from history.

The Prohibition issued by the Soviet Union was just as stupid as the Prohibition issued by the United States back then.

When this law was first introduced, it was intended to solve domestic economic problems.

The results were completely negative.

Mikhail's prohibition on alcohol almost sent the Soviet Union away.

It was precisely because of the food shortage that Mikhail ordered a ban on alcohol.

I don't know.

The Soviets can go without food, but they absolutely cannot go without drinking.

Lieutenant General Sergei looked behind him and saw several guards about twenty meters away.

I shouldn't be able to hear their conversation.

"I have already felt your sincerity. I will contact you in a few months to deliver these things to the designated location."

"Okay, now it's my turn to show my sincerity."

"Well, what do you want?"

Lieutenant General Sergei is a smart man and knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

Lin Kaifeng gave out two great gifts at once that could not be bought with money, and it was obvious that he had big ambitions.

As for the white wine and white sugar that Lin Kaifeng gave him, it was more of a stepping stone than a gift.

It is the stepping stone to open the door to cooperation between the two.

It is also an important guarantee to help Lieutenant General Sergei gain access to higher-level connections.

"I want Tu-160."

"Intercontinental strategic bomber!!!"

Lieutenant General Sergei's head was buzzing.

I knew that Lin Kaifeng had big ambitions, but I didn't expect that Lin Kaifeng would want this thing.

The Tu-160 strategic bomber is the air overlord with the longest range and the largest bomb load among many bombers of the Soviet Union.

The project was launched in 1970 and is said to have completed all research.

It will probably only be a few years before it is put into service.

The reason why I know it so clearly is very simple.

In order to obtain the Su-27 production line, General Konstantin reached out to the Soviet Aviation Ministry.

Successfully appointed his own person as the head of the Aviation Department.

The Ministry of Aviation has a large number of aircraft design bureaus under its jurisdiction.

There are four most famous design bureaus.

Sukhoi and Mikoyan are responsible for the production and research of fighter jets, and Antonov Design Bureau is responsible for the development of transport aircraft.

And the Tupolev Design Bureau, which specializes in the production of bombers.

A series of well-known strategic bombers such as Tu-95 and Tu-22 were all born in this design bureau.

The Tu-160 bomber mentioned by Lin Kaifeng is the masterpiece of the design bureau.

It is also the Soviet Union's number one main bomber in the future.

Lin Kaifeng said: "Comrade Sergei, I know you are in trouble now, so our business can be carried out in two steps."

"The first step is to convince General Constantine to sell us the complete set of research materials and drawings, and also sell us a batch of participants.

Technical experts who have studied the Tu-160. "

"When you feel the opportunity is ripe, sell me a few Tu-160 bombers."

"As for the price, I will definitely satisfy you."

"It's still the same old rule. One expert costs five hundred thousand dollars. As for the price you quote to General Constantine, it has nothing to do with me."

With the opportunity to make a fortune being offered to him, there was no way that Lieutenant General Sergei would refuse.

Lieutenant General Sergei said with embarrassment: "Tu-160 bomber, but we are from the Soviet Union..."

"Comrade Sergei, what you Soviet Union needs is not more weapons, but money, supplies, and drinks."

Lin Kaifeng interrupted Lieutenant General Sergei and said seriously: "Weapons cannot be eaten. The Tu-160 bomber in your military's hands is at best a decoration, and at most it will scare the West's heartbeat faster."

"Will you allow this type of bomber to carry aerial bombs, missiles, and nuclear bombs and drop them all on the Western world?"

"Instead of keeping a useless decoration in your hands, wouldn't it be better to turn it into money?"

Lieutenant General Sergei lit another cigar.

"I will try to convince Comrade General, but I cannot guarantee whether I can succeed."

"Comrade Sergey, I believe you will succeed."

Lin Kaifeng smiled faintly and said, "My bottom line is 160 for one expert. In addition to fighter aircraft experts, we also need bomber experts and transport aircraft experts. If the complete set of technical drawings of the Tu- needs to be exchanged, it would be best to focus on the fields of liquor, grain, meat, clothing, and light industrial products."

"If you have to pay it back with money, don't pay it back more than 100 million US dollars."

"Assuming the price is less than $100 million, the rest of the money is yours."

Lieutenant General Sergei nodded.

Longguo lacks experts in intercontinental bombers and its research on large transport aircraft has just begun.

Expert assistance from the Soviet Union will inevitably be needed.

Five hundred thousand per person.

The more you cut, the more kickbacks you can get.

This business...is worth doing!
