Chapter 220: Generous Gifts
(Third, I remember that I wrote in the article before that the chairman of the Council of Ministers and the prime minister were separated when the system was restructured, but some book friends pointed out that they were not, and here I would like to explain that the author's own statement shall prevail.) Of course, if I really didn't write like this in the previous article, please don't hit me, PS I don't know if the fourth watch can be in time before twelve o'clock)
The embargo between the United States and the European Union on China began in 1989, and European countries did not have a special embargo treaty on China, and everything was carried out within the framework of the Paris Coordinating Committee. However, if the United States wants to resume some of the previous honeymoon cooperation projects, it will have to bypass the Paris Coordinating Committee, in other words, this kind of thing can only be done by the CIA privately, and is not suitable for direct official involvement.
When Woolsey received the news, he simply cheered, which also meant that his opportunity was coming, and the policy of supporting China's resistance to the Soviet Union could finally be implemented. He went to the White House almost excitedly, excitedly, after all, a single decision in Washington could influence the strategy of Langley's leaders.
In the mid-80s, the military cooperation strategy of the Soviet honeymoon period was promising Cai Guoqing, oh no J-8 equipped with a new fire control system, transplanted the fire control system of the F16 contemporaneous period to the J-8, and implemented the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the J-8. At the same time, the Secretary of Defense also proposed the Fighting Falcon Corridor plan, trying to get the United States to provide a batch of F14 fighter jets and retired fighter personnel to help China establish an air interception corridor in the north as quickly as possible. At the same time, there is the aborted Jaguar tank program, the special product Harbin battleship, artillery fire tracking radar, and so on.
Woolsey was almost rummaging through the dusty file room for the sealed plans. He is carefully selecting which cooperation projects have a chance to restart. So that there is a good argument in front of the president. And most importantly. These things cannot be known to European countries, and if the United States secretly deals with China behind its back on its allies, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other countries.
European countries said that why should I prevent China and the Soviet Union from losing a large chunk of their income, while you, the United States, are making a lot of money with China? If you think carefully about the success of China's J20, you can see that the EU has a ridiculous and embarrassing position in the embargo, and in the end, its own technology began to lag behind, and it also made the EU have a so-called Batumi plan that turned out to be a conspiracy to defend itself. I have to say that the United States is really clever in this chess move, and it has pitted its allies and opponents. Only he has everything and is far ahead.
"You mean to privately relaunch the Black Hawk Helicopter cooperation project with China?" President Mario was stunned for a moment, before Bush planned to privately use the Black Hawk program to win over China, but unexpectedly touched the nose, although China still bought a few Black Hawk helicopters in the end, but the price made the Sikorsky company unhappy, so that the person in charge of the Sikorsky company also privately complained that the CIA bastards had hurt them.
"Yes, relaunch this partnership and increase the sell-off. Strive for China to buy at least 60 Black Hawk helicopters. "Through previous CIA intelligence analysis, China after purchasing Black Hawk helicopters. They did not have the ability to replicate a similar highland helicopter, so much so that they had to continue to buy spare parts from the United States to keep the helicopter in service.
So if the United States buys the Black Hawk to China, China is absolutely willing to accept it all, and Woolsey chose this as a stepping stone to something unrealistic like a Jaguar cooperation project.
"Won't leak our military secrets?" Mario asks a rather layman's question.
"I'm afraid the president doesn't need to worry about this question, if two countries cooperate on military projects, I'm afraid that secrets will be more or less leaked, but they will not be able to copy our technology immediately. The Black Eagle represents the industrial level of a country, not that you can completely copy our technology if you know it, and when China has the opportunity to create their Black Eagle, I am afraid that our transport helicopters have reached the leading level of the next era. ”
Hearing Woolsey's assurance, President Mario was relieved, but Woolsey's deal was not just one aspect, including other part of the project handover. In the original history, before President Bush stepped down, he delivered two reborn J-8 fighters, as well as MK46-2 torpedoes, TPQ-37 artillery radars and Black Hawk spare parts to China. But he gave this favor to Mario and asked him to solve it.
And Woolsey thinks they can use the unfinished Peace Model Project to open a new chapter of cooperation.
"In the previous plan, we still have some leftovers that can be delivered to China, like those two fighter jets as examples, and provide China with new avionics systems, so that the Chinese side will naturally know what our attitude is towards him. The avionics of the Black Hawk helicopter and the J-8 can be used as a brick to see what the attitude of the Chinese side is. If we can continue the deal, we'll make a deal with them. ”
"Anyway, we don't lose anything. And we are willing to sell these armaments to China, they should be happy, these things are not available to them. Woolsey said eloquently.
"Okay, but this time the Paris Coordinating Committee must be bypassed, and the European allies must not be made aware of this." President Mario signed his name on the document, which was a formal approval of the CIA's special operation.
"If we just offer a deal, we still have more than we can gain." After signing his name, President Mario thought for a moment, pointed his pen at Woolsey and said, "We have to use this to blackmail China and force them to give up some ...... How to put it, it doesn't matter to them, but for the USSR it is a relatively important cooperation project, yes, that's it. ”
"I understand what the president means." Woolsey replied that he certainly did not expect the favor of the two military cooperation projects to turn the situation around, not to mention that these things were bought by the Chinese side at the time. But it's still okay to use it to disgust the USSR.
"We have not had a breakthrough in the Soviet problem for almost a year, and this time we are counting on your plan to bring us together a joint column to resist the Soviet Union. Do what you do best, and don't let me down, Director Woolsey. "President Mario handed the document to Woolsey as if he had entrusted him with an honorable and sacred task.
"Definitely not going to disappoint the president." Woolsey said. Although Woolsey may only fail against Yanayev, who is cunning and has a talent for knowing the future, other things, such as winning over the enemy, are still very set.
It took Woolsey only three days to come back with a detailed strategic plan, including the sale of the Black Hawk to the Chinese side, the return of the products of the Peace Model Project to the Chinese side, and even the provision of a new batch of avionics for Chinese fighter jets.
Of course, all this did not come without a price, and the condition put forward by the American side was that China would have to break off certain economic cooperation projects with the Soviet Union, for example, some transactions in agriculture and economic trade. Otherwise, the United States can terminate military cooperation with China at any time.
On the one hand, it is a cooperation project related to a country's military strength, and on the other hand, it is just an inconsequential economic project. Moreover, the temptation thrown out by the United States is so great that it is difficult to guarantee that China will not change its mind.
Once the plan was complete, the C.I.A. began lobbying Sikorsky to match him up one more time to make a commercial deal with China and sell your helicopters. What's more, this is a big transaction, we didn't look for other companies but for you, just because we fancy your reliable quality.
Under the coercion and inducement of the CIA, Sikorsky agreed to their request and prepared to go to China for another round of negotiations, and the CIA is also actively packing equipment and sending all the remaining materials of the original cooperation project to China.
Regarding the behavior of the United States in full swing and thinking that he had picked up a treasure, Yanayev just smiled like a clown and did not speak. (To be continued.) )
