Military Industry of Great Powers: Build the Strongest Flanker

The 156 projects supported by Mao Xiong cover 150 projects including steel, radio, machining, automobiles, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, aircraft design and manufacturing, metallurgy, etc. From 1953 to 1958, A total of 13,800 wagons of equipment were transported, followed by a technical team of 23,736 people.

The significance of Project 156 to this new country is undoubtedly far-reaching. It initially established various industrial categories in China, laid the foundation for China's industrialization, and also laid a good foundation for China's current opening up to the outside world.

After Project 156, China achieved independent production of guns and artillery for the first time in history. It could build tractors and aircraft. This laid a solid foundation for the subsequent two bombs and one satellite.

Some people may ask, what does the two bombs and one satellite have to do with the 156 project supported by Mao Xiong?

Comrades, uranium ore requires machines to mine and centrifuges to purify. Without machinery and electricity, it would be difficult to solve even just one raw material...

In fact, the older generation of industrial workers have complicated feelings towards the furry bears. Although they had a lot of unhappiness with the furry bears due to various reasons in the next thirty years, they still have a deep affection for the furry bears between 1953 and 1958. A period of history, basically with a grateful heart...

Teacher Xiao Zhao’s proposal received the attention of the country immediately.

The domestic call went to the Klimov Design Bureau, and Zhao Guoqing made a separate report to the International Exchange Department on the phone.

Peng Qiu was very interested in Zhao Guoqing's proposal. After listening to Zhao Guoqing's report, he expressed his affirmation of the plan.

"The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring of water. This is the tradition of our country. I think it will also be very helpful to improve the image of our country. Mr. Zhao, you are interested!"

Zhao Guoqing said: "I just think that now our hard power is still lacking, so we should think about soft power to improve our influence..."

"Soft power?"

Zhao Guoqing nodded and explained the concepts and relationships between hard power and soft power.

Peng Qiu smiled and said: "It's interesting. They say that stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. I finally understand. Mr. Zhao, you have provided us with new ideas for developing international relations and improving our international image!"

Zhao Guoqing smiled and heard Peng Qiu say: "Mr. Zhao, in this matter, I suggest we go for non-governmental exchanges. Anshan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, Jingcheng Electronics Factory and other units are very motivated, and China is friendly to foreign countries. What do you think about it being carried out in the name of the association?”

"…………"

Zhao Guoqing thought for a while and nodded. The current international environment is too sensitive. If the authorities come to organize it, there will indeed be many constraints.

However, he still mentioned it and said: "People-to-people exchanges are also possible. I hope the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can issue a certificate to everyone. Of course, this certificate can be traced back to all those who are friendly to China or have made outstanding contributions to the Chinese people or those who come after In human hands..."

"Some conveniences can be provided. People with certificates can enter China without a visa. When they or their descendants encounter difficulties, they can use the certificates to ask our Chinese Embassy for help..."

"You can also set up an international trusteeship foundation, and the expenses can be paid by the foundation... As for the source of funds, the units that assist the construction, social and individual enterprises..."

Peng Qiu smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, have you ever thought about coming to work in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"…………"

Are you... serious? You still think I talk too much!

…………

The next day, Comrade Li Xuechun, the Chinese counselor in Moscow, came to Leningrad specifically to find Zhao Guoqing, and Zhao Guoqing arranged for Zhou Li to discuss the plan with him.

Because of the Ministry of Aviation Industry of the Bear, Minister Belyakov came to Leningrad in person.

This is a person who speaks with great weight in military procurement.

Mao Xiong is very interesting at this time. Even Uncle Qiao sitting in the Kremlin in Moscow has no control over the foreign military purchases of the Mao Xiong military-industrial complex.

Yes, you saw it right. The top leader of Mao Xiong has no involvement in arms sales. This bad governance originated from the Xunzong era, when he delegated too much power to the army and the military-industrial complex.

You must know that once power is given away, it is difficult to take it back.

The conflict between Uncle Qiao and the military stemmed from a small incident. Three years ago, a small plane flew from Finland to Moscow's Red Square without any hindrance.

Uncle Qiao thought that the military was deliberately trying to embarrass him, so he took action.

He announced the unilateral disarmament of 500,000 people, but did not make any arrangements for these 500,000 people.

The next year, the defense budget was reduced by 30%, telling the military to shut up.

The smell of gunpowder on the upper level is getting stronger and stronger.

For each unit, the allocation is less, and for everyone, the income is also less.

Everything is focused on one word, that is "money"!

So many people think that China's purchases may only cost a few hundred or tens of millions of dollars, but it also attracted the minister of aviation to participate.

Zhao Guoqing could feel that Mao Jun would never be a slave, and even the tallest Uncle Qiao could not defeat them.

Minister Belyakov revealed his dissatisfaction with the Kremlin in everything he said. Yes, he did not hide his position in front of so many foreign guests, especially Uncle Qiao's new thinking, which was criticized as a Picking up shit, and no one there pointed out anything wrong with him.

Sarkisov, the chief engineer of the Klimov Design Bureau and the top leader, nodded along from time to time.

This surprised everyone in China.

Although the furry bear is not the furry bear that everyone likes, such chaos also makes Director Ma and the others a little uneasy.

And Zhao Guoqing knew that if nothing unexpected happened, Mao Xiong would have less than a year left, so he was very calm.

Tu Jinda tried his best to ignore other influences. He knew exactly what he was here for this time.

"It is impossible to open a large opening on the back of the Super Seven machine for maintenance. We hope you can change the PG33 engine casing to the bottom..."

The engine control system is installed inside the engine casing. Mao Xiong’s engine control system still uses analog circuits. It is large and heavy. The two casings weigh 50 kilograms and have a volume of about 72 liters, which is about the same as a small refrigerator. .

Tu Jinda had stayed at Grumman, and he saw that the F14 engine casing was only the size of a book, and even the older F404 engine was only the size of two books at most.

This made Tu Jinda couldn't help but ask: "Why is your receiver so big? What's in it?"

Starovkov, a senior engineer at the Klimov Design Bureau, said: "It was designed this way more than ten years ago. This is a matter for the Ukrainian branch. As long as it can be used well, we have no right to modify it!"

Zhao Zhongshu was surprised and said: "The Klimov Design Bureau is the General Bureau of Engine Design. You have no power to modify the design of the branch?"

Director Ma also had a look of disbelief on his face, and he looked at Director Zhao next to him.

There are two possibilities. One is that Starovkov is just afraid of trouble and finds any reason to frustrate the Chinese delegation. The second possibility is that they find it incredible how rigid the Mao Xiong system has become!

Zhao Guoqing shook his head. It was not prevarication, it was a bit rigid, but the reason why they were unwilling to miniaturize the receiver was because they couldn't do it!

Zhao Guoqing looked at Tu Jinda and sighed.

Lao Tu thought that Mao Xiong was as advanced as the West, but he would soon learn that was not the case.

Moreover, miniaturization of electronic equipment is not as simple as it sounds.
