Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Seeing Bao Zixuan coming over, little Ustinov smiled. The reason why this air show achieved such results can be said to be directly related to Bao Zixuan's planning. Without a big player like Saudi Arabia, other countries in the Middle East would not buy it.

Soviet weapons and equipment. After all, the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan caused a huge sensation in the Middle East.

Although these countries dare not do anything on the surface, they secretly create obstacles. It is time to end the farce, otherwise it will be difficult to gain recognition internationally. However, this time they dug a hole for the Americans and let American companies taste the bitter consequences; although

The method was not very glorious, but the effect was very obvious, which made little Ustinov look at Bao Zixuan with something strange.

Before, I only felt that this guy was a senior engineer, a super genius, and a good hand in business. But this time it completely subverted my perception. It turned out that he was also an expert in conspiracy and estimation. If it were him, he would never have imagined that it was so far-reaching;

The Americans were left with unspeakable suffering. The Soviet Union could achieve this without firing a shot; it was no less than launching a war.

Weapon preparation is not a one-time deal, especially for high-end weapons. It requires regular maintenance and upgrades, which all cost money. There is also personnel training, which is a real profit. A country's military procurement is limited, and the Soviet Union has the majority; then

The share of the United States or other countries will naturally decrease accordingly.

It seems that some things cannot be solved by force alone. The international situation has changed a lot, and the Soviet Union must keep pace with the times. It cannot always think about aggression; unity and cooperation may become the next theme of mankind.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Now you are getting more and more impressive; Moscow really chose the right person to appoint you as the head of the General Armament Department."

If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to enter the Soviet exhibition hall. After all, the museum is closed at the moment and everyone is packing up. Moreover, many weapons and equipment are related to state secrets. Bao Shaofu still has some privileges in this regard.

In fact, even if the country wants to steal, it will not choose this time. If the old man really gets caught, things will not end well.

Little Ustinov smiled and said: "I really want to thank you for this. Fortunately, we are friends. If we were opponents, I really don't know what to do. I am praying for your opponents now, because I feel that they have no

Even if there is even a slight chance of winning, it is really sad."

Saying this is indeed a bit flattering to him, and I feel that this is indeed the case; maybe the current richest man Bao is a bit narcissistic.

Bao Zixuan: "I came here to discuss something with you. If you had not been the director of general equipment before, it might not have anything to do with you. But now that I am in this position, I cannot stay out of it."

Seeing how much Bao Zixuan attached great importance to it, little Ustinov immediately became serious. After all, in his impression, this kid usually didn't care, but when it came to serious matters, he would be extremely serious. Whether it was with his employees or partners.

, are all like this. Although it is a bit overbearing, it has been proven afterwards that it is still necessary to do as others ask.

Ustinov Jr.: "Let's go inside to talk. Although we are in Paris, France, this room is absolutely safe."

In fact, it's normal to think about it. Even if the French install bugs, they will have to look for soft persimmons to attack. As for the Soviet Union, they don't dare to make any excessive moves. If they really want to be caught by the old Maozi, it will be difficult to end it; and it will also

It will seriously affect the credibility of the air show.

Everyone paid money to come to the exhibition, but they found out that the French used the air show to find out the confidential information of various countries. I wonder which country and company dares to participate in such an air show. It doesn’t even have the most basic fairness and justice, so how can it have credibility?

I mean, it’s okay to occasionally take care of domestic companies. Everyone just turns a blind eye. This can be regarded as a rule that shouldn’t be followed.

But stealing the contents of conversations through eavesdropping devices is absolutely intolerable. The Soviets are not even afraid of Americans, and France is really nothing in their eyes.

Since little Ustinov can guarantee it, he can discuss this topic with confidence and boldness.

Bao Zixuan: "When I was studying in London, I heard such a story one day at school. I think it might be of some use to you, at least it can restore a true image."

"The main content is about the cause of the crash of the Soviet Tu-144 at the Paris Air Show in 1973; the French did not explain it clearly to you at the time."

Hearing about this aircraft, Ustinov began to recall. The Tu-144 passenger aircraft was designed in 1962 and was the first supersonic transport aircraft designed and manufactured by the Tupolev Design Bureau.

In order to shorten the development cycle and put it into use on routes first; the Tu-144 prototype adopts an aerodynamic layout very similar to the "Concorde" supersonic transport aircraft jointly developed by Britain and France. It also adopts a long and narrow triangular wing and a tailless layout; 4 units

The engine and underwing air inlet, and most of the wing, are twist-free. It is said that during the development process, a MiG-21 was used to modify a long and narrow delta wing tailless test aircraft; dozens of flight tests were conducted.

The production version of the Tu-144 was unveiled at the Paris Air Show in 1973. Compared with the prototype, the production version had major changes. In addition to the lengthening and widening of the fuselage, the wings, landing gear and engine nacelle were redesigned; the nose

Retractable canards have been added to the interior. It is estimated that this is the result of a large number of aerodynamic selection and testing.

But the first appearance was very unsuccessful, and even led to a crash. Not only did it pay huge economic losses, but it also made the Soviet aviation industry a laughing stock.

Now that Bao Zixuan is talking about this matter again, is there something fishy in it?

Seeing that little Ustinov was deep in thought, Bao Zixuan did not disturb him; now of course he had to give him some time to reminisce. It was already more than ten years ago; at that time, he was probably at most a school-level officer.

Maybe because of family connections, I know more than people of the same level; but I don’t know that clearly.

But it is different now. As a senior Soviet official, since he has the opportunity to understand the cause of the matter, of course he must take it seriously. After all, this is also a manifestation of work ability, and it can also clear the grievances of his subordinate engineers.

The Tu-144 aircraft comes from the Tupolev Design Bureau, the most important aircraft design bureau in the Soviet Union. As the head of the General Armament Department, many times you need support from someone below. This is a good opportunity, at least

It would make the old man of Tupolev Design Bureau grateful to him.

Soviet weapons and equipment have serious problems domestically; not to mention that at the Paris Air Show, it can be said that the shame is thrown at grandma's house. This matter has always been like a big mountain, always weighing on the Tupolev Design Bureau

.

Seeing that little Ustinov had calmed down, Bao Zixuan continued: "In fact, on the morning of the test flight, a French Air Force Mirage III fighter jet took off from Strasbourg, and the crew on board was ordered to fly Tu-144 at low altitude.

Take some aerial photos while flying over Le Bourget Airport.”

"When the Tu-144 dived to an altitude of 500 meters, the "Phantom" was located about 200 meters above and in front of the Tu-144. The appearance of this fighter may have distracted the attention of the Tu-144 pilots, who believed that the two aircraft

The distance was too close. A few seconds later, the "Mirage" III crew received the order and prepared to withdraw."

"Then the Mirage III began to turn to the left, and in the view of the Tu-144 crew, the aircraft seemed to suddenly become larger. They believed that the two aircraft might collide. In response, the captain of the Tu-144 flew the aircraft

Entering the dive, presumably to avoid Phantom III, this medium-range dive subjected the aircraft to negative g-loads—the negative g-load recorded by the data recorder was not significant."

"The left wing of the plane fell off at this time, and the plane that lost one wing immediately rolled and flipped upside down; it broke into two pieces, exploded in the air and fell. The scene was very tragic."

"During the previous test flight of the Concorde, France notified the Concorde crew members. However, during the test flight of the Tu-144, France chose to conceal the filming because they wanted to obtain the structural characteristics of the canard layout of the Tu-144 passenger aircraft. After all,

This has always appeared on military aircraft before."

"In other words, understanding the canard layout of the Tu-144 aircraft is equivalent to knowing the aerodynamic performance of all canard layout fighters currently in service in the Soviet Union."

After all, he is also a senior general in the military, and he is very familiar with the performance characteristics of aircraft.

Moreover, Tupolev Jr., chief engineer of the Tu-144 passenger aircraft, happened to be in the exhibition hall; Ustinov Jr. hurriedly summoned him.

So the two started discussing, and after learning the specific cause of the plane crash, the old man was very angry, but at the same time, he also felt a little guilty about the many shortcomings of the plane.

There is actually a problem with the design overload of the Tu-144. The aircraft can withstand a positive overload of 5-7g; while the negative overload limit is only 1g. Even though there are some problems with its own design, the cause of the accident is still caused by the French. The matter is absolutely

We can't just let it go, we must ask the French for an explanation. However, we need to investigate clearly beforehand, at least to make the French have nothing to say.

These have little to do with Bao Zixuan. It is the French's turn to have a headache.
