Let the third brother pay for the creation of a carrier-based fighter based on the MiG-29?

Chen Geng's idea made the eyes of all the Soviet officials present shine!

At the beginning of the development of the MiG-29 was only a pure land-based fighter, for countries that have no experience in the development of carrier-based aircraft, the difficulty of transforming a road-based fighter into a carrier-based version can simply kill people, but for the Soviet Union, which already has a carrier-based version of the Su-27: Su-33 heavy carrier-based fighter development experience, the development of a carrier-based version of the MiG-29 based on the road-based version of the MiG-29, of course, is difficult, but as long as the funds can be guaranteed, there is no problem at all in terms of technology.

The only question is, is India willing to pay for it?

This question was also of concern to Nikolai Malenkov, who frowned and said with uncertainty: "Indians, are they willing to pay this money?"

"Just try it?" Chen Geng's face was relaxed, compared to Nikolai Malenkov's expectations and uncertainties, Chen Geng looked indifferent, it seemed that he didn't care about this problem at all, and he didn't look at which country would equip the MiG-29K in the future?: "As far as I know, it seems that India is very satisfied with the performance of the MiG-29, and they also have a batch of 'Sea Harriers' in their hands. Normally, if they knew that they could get the carrier-based version of the MiG-29K, maybe the Indians would even have the mind to install a blocking cable for the Virat aircraft carrier. ”

That's the truth!

Chen Geng's words reminded them, Nikolai Malenkov and other colleagues glanced at each other, and everyone nodded in agreement: the MiG-29 is the most elite and most powerful fighter in India's hands, and the Indian government and even the Indian Air Force have always regarded the MiG-29 in their hands as their own façade and the "strategic deterrence equipment" to dominate the Indian Ocean.

That can't!

Chen Geng continued: "In my opinion, instead of worrying about whether India will purchase the carrier-based version of the MiG-29, it is better to be concerned about another more practical question: Does your government agree to develop a shipborne version of the MiG-29 based on the land-based version of the MiG-29?"

This is the main problem, from the "land" to the "sea", for the Soviet military industry there is no problem technically, and it is not a big problem for the Indian side to pay for it itself, the only problem is the attitude of the Soviet side.

"I can answer this question now," Nikolai Malenkov said immediately: "India has always been an ally of the Soviet Union, and as long as India is willing to pay for it, the Soviet Union is willing to develop a carrier-based version of a high-performance fighter for its allies based on the MiG-29." ”

As the head of the aviation department of the USSR State Committee for Military-Industrial Equipment, Nikolai Malenkov had the confidence and qualifications to say this.

"That's fine. Chen Geng smiled and nodded.

Chen Geng said that there was no problem, and Nikolai Malenkov immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but some people expressed concern: "Mr. Fernandez, if there is a carrier-based version of the MiG-29, will India still buy the carrier-based version of the Yak-130?"

yes.

As soon as this person's words spoke, Nikolai Malenkov immediately looked at Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, what if India knows that the carrier-based version of the MiG insists on buying the MiG-29 instead of the Yak-130?"

"This problem is actually very easy to solve. Chen Geng said with a smile.

"How?"

Nikolai Malenkov's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked.

"It depends on the delivery progress of the carrier-based version of the Yak-130...... At least it is the speed of delivery that can be told to India," Chen Geng said: "If the carrier-based version of the Yak-130 can be delivered in two or three years, and the carrier-based version of the MiG-29 can be delivered in 10 years, do you say, will the Indian side make its aircraft carrier have no carrier-based aircraft available in order to wait for the carrier-based version of the MiG-29?"

Nikolai Malenkov immediately shook his head without thinking: "Of course it can't be." ”

"That's it," Chen Geng said: "India can purchase a batch of Yak-130 first, so that the aircraft carrier can form combat effectiveness, as for the carrier-based version of the MiG-29 after the successful development of the original Yak-130...... It's also a good idea to keep some of the aircraft on the aircraft carrier and give the rest to the aircraft carrier's land training base for training new pilots, isn't it?"

That's right.

In the early stage, the carrier-based version of the Yak-130 was used to maintain the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier battle group, and after the carrier-based version of the MiG-29 was put into service, part of the Yak-130 remained on the aircraft carrier to provide training for the pilots, and the other part was handed over to the land base of the carrier-based aviation for the training of new pilots, while the Soviet Union could sell two batches of fighters to India in a short period of time and make a lot of money.

Not only Nikolai Malenkov, but other Soviet officials were all happy.

Only Nikolai Malenkov, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, can I ask you a question?"

"You say. ”

"You have told us the general process of negotiations with India, and now we have not yet begun to hand over the ......data of Tu-204 to COMAC," Staring at Chen Geng, Nikolai Malenkov said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that we will suddenly break the contract?"

Well?!

As soon as Nikolai Malenkov's words fell, the eyes of other Soviet officials suddenly fell on Chen Geng and Nikolai Malenkov -- Nikolai Malenkov didn't say that everyone didn't realize it, but with Nikolai Malenkov's words, many people were suddenly moved: Yes, since Fernández Chen has clearly explained the general way of negotiating with India, can we break the contract? Just like Comrade Malenkov said, anyway, we have not yet handed over the map to COMAC— 204.

"Afraid?" Chen Geng smiled: "Why am I afraid?"

Under the gaze of more than a dozen high-ranking Soviet officials, Chen Geng said slowly and confidently: "If you are not afraid of difficulties in the supply of materials, and if you are not afraid that the Indian side will know about your plan, you can do so." ”

This is actually Chen Geng's warning to Maozi.

The experience of dealing with Maozi countless times told Chen Geng that the words "honesty and trustworthiness" do not often appear in Maozi's dictionary.

What's that?

Just look at how much more money India spent on that "free" Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, and you can see how Maozi is "honest and trustworthy".

“......”

I didn't expect Chen Geng to be so direct, and the faces of the senior Soviet officials were suddenly a little ugly!

Yes, just now there are indeed many people who have the intention of breaking the contract, breaking the contract, it is too normal for Mao Zi, even if the Soviet Union really broke the contract, what can he Fernández Chen do?

But Chen Geng's words were like a scoop of cold water poured on their heads, making them sober up all of a sudden: yes, they thought too much, if the Soviet Union dared to break the treaty, tear up the previous Tu-204 transfer agreement, and personally negotiate with India, Fernandez Chen could use a lot of means to fight back.

But it's not like no one refutes it......

"Mr. Fernández, that's not what you said," immediately some people were unconvinced: "The money you earn every year from the Soviet Union is not a small amount, and you are willing to pay such a large sum?"

Who is this?

Chen Geng looked up, well, I know, I can be regarded as an acquaintance, the director of the Soviet Foreign Ministry in charge of Indian affairs, Abromavicus, no wonder, who made this guy's father the fifth-ranked deputy minister of the Soviet Foreign Ministry.

But no matter whether others are used to him or not, Chen Geng will not get used to him, looking at the fried Abu Romavicus, Chen Geng said honestly and unceremoniously: "Whether I am reluctant to give up this money is not the point, the point is ...... Mr. Abromavicus, may you ask some of the gentlemen here if they are willing to lose me as a supplier?"

Chen Geng looked at Abromavikus with a smile, but the words he said were not polite at all: "There are no outsiders here, I might as well be more direct, don't care how much money I made in the Soviet Union, but over the years by cooperating with me, gentlemen, how much money have you earned?"

Abroma Vikcoston was stunned, and his heart suddenly felt a little sent, but he continued to say the hardest: "Fernandez, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, just wanted to remind you, Mr. Abromavicus, if your father knew that there was a problem with the supply of cloth on the Moscow market because of your words, I wonder how he would react?"

Abromavicus's face suddenly darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

"How can it be said to be a threat, I am just stating a fact," Chen Geng looked around, "Or, let me remind you gentlemen, as an upstream supplier, I actually don't really think much about this income in the Soviet Union, let me put it mildly, how much money do I make here in the Soviet Union every year?

Even if I didn't have this business from the Soviet Union, I would be the richest man in the world, but if I didn't have all the products I offered, gentlemen, hehe......"

Chen Gengyi chuckled inexplicably.

The faces of everyone present changed, and everyone looked at Abromavikus in unison, and their eyes were not very good.

Yes, the people present, one counts one, can be regarded as Chen Geng's "distributor" in the Soviet Union, and a considerable part of the goods that Chen Geng transported to the Soviet Union were transported to various places in the Soviet Union through the people present, from this point of view, Chen Geng can be regarded as everyone's God of Wealth.

Since it is the God of Wealth, of course, it is right to make offerings, but what Abromavicus said just now is clearly threatening his God of Wealth, and everyone's reaction is naturally understandable: It doesn't matter if you Abu Romavicus don't want to make money yourself, but don't be so special that Lao Tzu is involved!

It is true that Abromavikus is a second ancestor, but the second ancestor is not equated with a fool, Abromavikus may not have reacted at first, but when he is stared at by almost everyone who is looking at his father's enemy, why does he not understand that he has committed public anger?

Cutting off people's financial routes is like killing your parents, if you really do that, how many colleagues will you offend at this time?

Abromavicus was taken aback, no matter how bold he was, he didn't dare to offend so many colleagues and the god of wealth at the same time, so he quickly explained: "I...... I'm just kidding Mr. Fernández...... Mr. Fernández, you said yes, right?"

In the end, this guy looked at Chen Geng with a bit of pleading in his eyes.

Since Abromavicus was smart enough, Chen Geng didn't care about himself, nodded and said, "That's right, it's a joke...... But, Mr. Abromavicus, don't make such jokes in the future, right?"

Abromavicus nodded repeatedly: "Definitely, definitely." ”

Looking at Abromavicus nodding and bowing his head, Chen Geng secretly pouted in his heart: Maozi is a group of cheap skins who are uncomfortable if they don't clean up.

........................

"Mr. Canter, it's a good thing. ”

"Mr. Fernandez, I have heard of your name for a long time," at the door of the Indian Embassy in the Soviet Union, Chen Geng's hand and the hand of the Indian Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Ashok Kant, held Chen Geng's hand with a smile on his face and shook it again and again: "On behalf of the more than 200 staff of the embassy and the Indian government, I would like to welcome your visit, Mr. Fernandez, you come to India for inspection and investment, and we are willing to provide you with the best investment conditions and preferential measures." ”

"Ambassador Kante, you are too polite," Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "I also hope to be able to go to India to have a look." ”

Ashok Conte was overjoyed.

Compared with Chen Geng's simple politeness, Ashok Conte showed much enthusiasm, not at all like an ambassador abroad representing a government, and his warm smile made those staff who were accustomed to their ambassador's face all day long wonder if they were hallucinating.

It's no wonder that Ashok Kante was so polite to Chen Geng, but it was Fernandez Chen, although he was a little puzzled by Chen Geng's visit, but did it matter?

The day before yesterday, Ashok Kante suddenly received news from the Soviet Foreign Ministry that Fernández Chen, a wealthy American man and a good friend of the Soviet people, wanted to visit Ambassador Kante and ask him if it was convenient.

In the face of the visit of the world's richest man who has a huge influence in the political, military, and economic circles of the United States, how could Ashok Cont be inconvenient? Even if he did not know the other party's intentions? The most important thing is to ensure that nothing goes wrong in the whole reception process.

After receiving a notice from the Soviet Foreign Ministry, Ashok Kant even made a request to China, and the result of the request was, of course, needless to say: no matter what Fernandez Chen came for, he must be received with the highest standards, and he should do his best to invite Fernandez Chen to visit and invest in India.
