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

Speaking of the war between Persia and Lak, Lin Kaifeng made a bold assertion.

The long-term war between the two countries will probably end in one or two years.

There was no winner, and no one could continue fighting.

"If we can really get back two F-14 fighter jets, that would be great."

General Liu gradually became excited.

The Tomcat fighter has been in service for many years and is still a high-end fighter.

General Liu was no longer surprised by Lin Kaifeng's vision and courage.

Think back to the beginning.

The United States' development of the F-14 carrier-based aircraft really surprised countries around the world.

Many military observers have made such an assessment.

The f-14 fighter is the most beautiful fighter in human history.

From the time the F-14 fighter jet was developed and put into service until now, the United States has only exported this type of fighter jet to one country.

Persia.

Except for Persia, even the European countries, including the United States' own sons in the desert area, have never come into contact with this kind of fighter.

This can be seen.

How important is the F-14 fighter jet to the United States.

A few years ago, Persia was a member of the Western camp led by the United States.

It is also an important frontier fortress deployed by the United States in the desert area.

Few people could have imagined that the situation in Persia would change so suddenly.

The year before, the United States was still exporting large quantities of weapons to Persia.

The following year, Persia launched a power change and the pro-Western king was expelled.

Persia changed its tune and joined the Soviet camp.

The war between Persia and Lak has been going on for five or six years.

It was really a fight between children, it was disgusting to watch.

Without the Soviet Union's support, the war would have ended long ago.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the weapons used by Lak and Persia.

Half came from the Soviet Union, and the other half was purchased from Longguo and Europe.

"Come over in the next few days and we'll discuss it carefully. If we can really sell you two F-14 fighter jets, I'll make the decision and award you a first-class medal of honor."

Lin Kaifeng smiled and said, "Old General, the medal is not necessary. If you really want to reward me, can you discuss with the old leader and allow the Northern Machinery Group to open a private multinational mining company?"

General Liu said with a smile, "Good boy, you are really out of breath when I say you are fat. You haven't even started to buy fighter jets, but you have set your sights on mineral resources. Tell me, where are you going to mine, in Heilongjiang or other mineral-rich areas?"

"I just had an idea about this matter, but I haven't sorted out the details yet. I'll report to you once I have sorted them out."

"Well, most people can't figure out what you're thinking. Even I can't tell your pulse. Come over here and talk if you have anything to say."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Kaifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as we help the Air Force get two F-14 Tomcat fighter jets, the leaders will definitely agree to the Northern Machinery Group's entry into the mineral development field.

The desert world's oil reserves account for more than half of the earth's oil reserves.

The Black Continent region adjacent to the desert world also has a lot of mineral resources that cannot be underestimated.

The difference is that the desert tycoons have the ability to mine oil and are even more capable of controlling oil prices.

Make yourself a wealthy tycoon through black gold.

The situation in the Black Sea region is as chaotic as it can be.

70% of countries are unable to develop mineral resources within their own borders.

The West is trying to seize these minerals.

And because the Black Continent world is in such a mess, mineral development has become powerless.

There are wars every day and armed conflicts break out anytime and anywhere.

This has deterred many Western mining companies.

The exploration and development of mineral resources requires a large amount of upfront investment.

Western mining companies are not fools. They invest large sums of money upfront. Once the mineral resources are explored, if a war breaks out in the country, all the previous investments will be wasted.

It is undeniable.

Lin Kaifeng also had this concern, so he has been reluctant to get involved in the development of mineral resources in the Black Sea region.

But judging from the current situation, the opportunity is almost ripe.

……

"Comrade Academician, your letter."

The capital of the Soviet Union, the Space Industry Bureau.

A Soviet man in work clothes delivered a letter to the office of Markov, a well-known aerospace expert.

"Comrade, thank you."

Makarov, who had just arrived at work, hung his coat on the hanger and looked back at the letter on his desk.

I thanked the messenger.

After everyone left, Makarov took out his work clothes from the cabinet and put them on.

I went back to my desk, sat down, took a pair of scissors and opened the letter.

After a while, Makarov's expression changed in a complicated way.

The letter was sent to Makarov's former colleague, Khodorkov, chief fighter specialist at the Sukhoi Aircraft Design Bureau.

Last year, Khodorkov and a large number of aviation experts immigrated to Longguo.

The two have not had any contact since he left.

With Mikhail coming to power, many inherent things in the Soviet Union were undergoing earth-shaking changes.

The most obvious one is to relax immigration restrictions.

Before Mikhail, only one type of people in the Soviet Union could immigrate.

A prisoner with a criminal record and who has been in jail.

Twenty or thirty years ago, Western countries aggressively lured Soviet experts and scholars to immigrate abroad.

Agents disguised themselves as scholars, business leaders, and international students and went to the Soviet Union to implement a talent attraction plan.

Through various means such as bribery and inducement, they instigated Soviet experts to leave the Soviet Union.

Faced with this situation, the Soviet Union’s top leaders were furious.

Since the United States wants to poach people from the Soviet Union, it might as well let them get nothing.

A ridiculous order was issued.

Except for those who have committed crimes, no other Soviet Union people are allowed to immigrate.

"Comrade Makarov, you look very unhappy. Are you feeling unwell?"

In another office, rocket engine expert Antonievich looked at Makarov who pushed the door open with a worried look on his face.

Makarov said nothing, locked the door of the office, and sat down opposite Antonievich.

"Antonievich, please read this letter first."

After saying that, Makarov took out the letter from his pocket.

"Oh my god! Dragon Country has changed so much..."

After reading the contents of the letter at a glance, Antonievich was dumbfounded.

"My old friend, when we were young, we worked in Longguo for a period of time as aid experts. At that time, Longguo had nothing. It was a poor newborn."

"How could Dragon Country develop so fast in just over twenty years?"

Khodorkov was not only Makarov's good friend and comrade-in-arms, but also Antonievich's friend.

The three men fought against foreign enemies when they were young, and then retired to start a new life.

With the idea of ​​engaging in scientific research and serving the country, he entered a well-known Soviet university to study aviation and aerospace technology.

Many years later, they became top experts in the fields of aviation and aerospace respectively.

Antonievich Makarov worked as a rocket expert and engine expert in the Soviet Space Agency.

Khodorkov joined the Sukhoi Aircraft Design Bureau as chief engineer.
