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

Lin Kaifeng remembers it clearly.

In the future, when the Soviet Union splits up, countries will frantically go to the Soviet Union to recruit experts.

In total, nearly 70,000 experts in various fields were taken away from the Soviet Union.

Among the experts who chose to stay, the largest number of them happened to be aerospace experts.

The only way is to convince them to come to Longguo to work willingly.

Lin Kaifeng crossed his arms and said, "Since you are so confident in yourself, you will be responsible for this task."

"Thank you for the trust of the general manager. I will definitely live up to my mission."

After the words fell, Zhou Weidong thought for a moment and added, "General Manager, among the aerospace experts we are targeting, a large part are meritorious scientists of the Soviet Union. If conventional methods don't work, can I improvise?"

Understanding what Zhou Weidong meant, Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Of course you can. Even in ancient times, there is a saying that a general is not subject to the orders of the emperor when he is away from home. You can adapt to the situation and you can act first and report later."

"As long as we can recruit people, it's worth paying a little more."

"Many of these aerospace experts are meritorious experts who have won the highest honors of the Soviet Union. They participated in the entire process of the Soviet Union sending astronauts into space and the protracted space race between the Soviet Union and the United States. Their patriotism is by no means comparable to that of ordinary scientists."

"Money and treatment may not be enough to convince them. As long as the goal can be achieved, any method can be used, even if it means scolding me a few times."

Hearing this, Zhou Weidong showed admiration.

Zhou Weidong can swear to heaven that he has been working in Northern Machinery Group for more than ten years.

I have never met another boss who values ​​scientific research talents more than Lin Kaifeng.

"You go ahead and get ready."

After a while, Lin Kaifeng waved his hand, signaling Zhou Weidong to go out.

Sitting alone in the empty office, Lin Kaifeng smiled bitterly.

It is necessary to not only undermine the Soviet Union's power, but also to ensure that the Soviet Union will not collapse as quickly as history had originally shown.

When the Soviet Union’s assets are emptied, the Soviet Union will be sent to the grave.

This is Lin Kaifeng’s latest plan.

This was also something that Lin Kaifeng and General Liu had discussed.

There are many reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union, and material shortage is just one of them.

If all the previous leaders of the Soviet Union were fools, then the current Mikhail is both stupid and evil.

After decades of fighting between the Soviet Union and the West, the Soviet Union was severely damaged and the West was also deeply exhausted.

Seeing that the Soviet Union showed goodwill and was willing to reconcile with the West, Western countries would certainly welcome the Soviet Union's goodwill with goodwill.

Mikhail's naive ideas were the direct cause of the demise of the Soviet Union.

The Western world never intended to let the Soviet Union go, let alone reconcile with Mikhail.

The purpose of pretending to relax the siege on the Soviet Union was to completely disintegrate the Soviet Union from within.

The Soviet Union's introduction of Western funds was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

When the poison accumulated to a certain level, it was too late for Mikhail to regret.

A large amount of Western goods and capital flowed into the Soviet Union, impacting the already shaky Soviet economic market.

It seemed that goods from the West were helping to solve the Soviet Union's inflation and material shortages.

In fact, it made the Soviet Union's money even less valuable.

The next day, Lin Kaifeng and Zhou Weidong left Shanghai one after another.

One went to the Soviet Union and the other returned to the group headquarters.

"Comrades, I have come back temporarily this time to arrange the next stage of work."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Kaifeng appeared in the conference room of the group headquarters.

The two most important parties are the two vice presidents of the group, Lu Changshun and Niu Yonggui.

After ten years of development, the senior leadership of Northern Machinery Group has changed several times.

As senior leadership is updated and upgraded, the group is developing faster and faster.

Except for Lu Changshun and Niu Yonggui, their positions have not changed.

Almost all the old people in other machinery factories have retired.

Lin Kaifeng also completely completed the full control of Northern Machinery Group.

Immediately, Lin Kaifeng assigned the work plan to everyone one by one.

The branch of Northern Machinery Group in East Prussia has completely established its foothold.

Established friendly relations with various departments in East Prussia.

Influence other Eastern Bloc countries through East Prussia.

From now on, Lin Kaifeng will be in charge of the work related to the Soviet Alliance.

Others focus their attention on the Eastern Bloc countries.

Mechanical equipment, technical patents, talent experts.

Buy everything that can be bought with money.

If the other party doesn't want money, exchange it for supplies.

The situation in the Eastern Bloc was not much different from that in the Soviet Union. All of them had problems such as material scarcity and shortage of living and production materials.

In his left hand he held banknotes, and in his right hand he held various supplies that the other party urgently needed.

"Comrades, don't be reluctant to invest. The talents, technology and equipment you get will become an important source of income for us."

Lin Kaifeng looked at Lu Changshun and said, "Uncle San, Zhou Weidong's work needs to be moved. You will be responsible for the work of the East Prussian branch."

"Use the connections Zhou Weidong has established in East Prussia and find a way to buy the Qianjin Machinery Factory."

"Forward Machinery Factory..."

Hearing this name, Lu Changshun recalled: "If I remember correctly, the Qianjin Machinery Factory is the largest agricultural machinery factory in East Prussia. It is also the agricultural machinery enterprise with the most complete equipment in the Eastern Bloc except for the Soviet Union."

"The Qianjin Machinery Factory is indeed one of the largest state-owned enterprises in the Eastern Bloc, but that is all in the past. The factory is currently in a semi-paralyzed state. As long as we give them money and goods, East Prussia will definitely sell it to us."

An hour later, Lin Kaifeng announced the adjournment of the meeting.

I returned to the office, picked up the phone and called the Armed Forces Headquarters.

"Old General, I'm going to the desert world in two months. In addition to the company staff, I hope to bring a few fighter experts with me."

On the other end of the phone, General Liu, who was in the office of the Armed Forces Headquarters, was stunned.

"You are going to bring fighter experts to the desert world. Are you planning to sell fighters for the Ministry of Aviation Industry?"

“It’s not about selling fighter jets, it’s about buying fighter jets.”

"Buy fighter jets?"

General Liu was about to ask in detail when the name of a type of fighter jet suddenly flashed through his mind.

The next moment, General Liu said in a deep voice: "Are you targeting Persia's F-14 Tomcat fighters?"

"Old General, you are truly a man of foresight."

Lin Kaifeng said straight to the point: "Tomcat fighters are useless to Persia. Although the fighters can still fly, Persia no longer has the air-to-air missiles that are specifically designed for fighters."

"At this time, if we promise to provide Persia with a batch of replacement missiles and offer some additional things to express our sincerity, I think Persia will definitely agree to sell us one or two F-14 fighter jets."

"The F-14 is a carrier-based aircraft. The United States has only exported it to Persia. As long as the work is done well, Persia will most likely agree to make this deal with us. After all, the situation of the Soviet Union is getting worse day by day, and it is no longer able to continue to support Persia to continue the war."
