Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 1994 The White Swan

"Regarding the Beidou system inviting domestic enterprises to jointly research and develop, there should be results this week." Xu Shaoqiang snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and said to Duan Yun: "You should stay in BJ for the time being and don't leave. There is news I will notify you as soon as possible, and when the time comes, the superior will definitely talk to you and ask about the specific situation of your company, what projects will be arranged for you to develop, and how much scientific research funding will be given to you. You can just report to your superiors truthfully. .”

"Understood." Duan Yun nodded in response.

In fact, at this point, Duan Yun knew very well that his company's participation in the development of the Beidou system was a sure thing, but the specific arrangement of the country, what projects they participated in, is still unknown, because such a systematic national project is Many companies and scientific research units are required to divide the work. It does not mean that Tianyin Group has a strong scientific research strength, and the country will let him be in charge of this project research, but to consider the overall situation.

However, in Duan Yun's view, the superiors should arrange some software and hardware research and development projects for their company, because Ni Guangnan, who has just joined Tianyin Group, is a very important bargaining chip. As the first batch of academicians of microelectronics in China, if Even if such top talents cannot make the best use of everything, then the superior leaders will definitely face some pressure from public opinion, and it can even be said to be a kind of dereliction of duty.

Judging from the present, it was a very wise move for Duan Yun to recruit Ni Guangnan with a high salary. This also gave Duan Yun the golden key to participate in national and scientific research projects. With a certain influence, it can still become an important bargaining chip in Duan Yun's hands.

And now Duan Yun intends to package several key scientific research personnel in the company, including Huang Lingyi and Jiang Mingwei, who have frequently appeared in major domestic newspapers and media in recent years. Duan Yun's doing so is actually an act of "confessing the gods" , Through the packaging of these scientific researchers in the company, and even his "myth", the ultimate purpose is to show the strength of Tianyin Group's scientific research, and at the same time make the technology brand Tianyin more valuable.

And just after Ni Guangnan joined Tianyin Group, Duan Yun planned to spend nearly 1000 million yuan in public relations fees this year to vigorously publicize Ni Guangnan's life and deeds, making him the "top class" in Tianyin Group and even China's scientific research field. It far exceeds Ni Guangnan's annual salary, but it is definitely worth the money, because in Duan Yun's view, this is a relatively advanced advertisement in itself.

That night, Duan Yun and Xu Shaoqiang talked about a lot of things, in addition to the upcoming Beidou system research and development project, and the current military trade cooperation between China and Russia.

In the early 90s, China and Russia began an explosive military trade cooperation.A large number of Russian-made equipment entered China.At this time in China, a poor student who failed the exam finally found a teacher who was willing to teach him, so he began to make up for the homework he owed.

By 1994, China had become the largest customer of Russian arms exports. While purchasing Russian weapons, China absorbed a large number of Russian-made weapon systems and developed many weapon systems exclusive to China.

例如中国的歼11战机来自于俄罗斯的苏27，红旗17防空导弹其设计灵感来自于俄罗斯的道尔防空导弹。红旗9防空导弹借鉴了s300防空导弹系统。其中不少技术甚至还超过了俄罗斯。

In 1990, China's GDP was only US$3200 billion. In the same year, the GDP of the former Soviet Union was US$1.7 trillion, of which Russia's was US$9000 billion.China's naval and air force equipment is comprehensively backward, not only inferior to Japan, South Korea, India and other countries next door, but even inferior to the other side of the strait.At that time, the Taiwan military had a total of 360 third-generation aircraft, while the People's Liberation Army had only 30.

Faced with so many weapons and equipment that urgently need to be updated, China chose to start with the air force.Military purchases, mainly Su-27 and S300 air defense missiles, have begun.This line of thinking has continued into later generations.

And this year, China's top leaders plan to introduce another batch of high-tech weapons from the former Soviet Union countries, so as to strengthen its military strength and quickly bridge the military technology gap with other developed countries.

However, China's large-scale and frequent purchase of weapons from the former Soviet Union is bound to arouse the vigilance of Western countries, and in the current international arms foreign trade market, European and American countries have always occupied the initiative to purchase weapons from the Soviet Union. , it infiltrated the government and military departments of the Soviet Union very systematically and powerfully, so the former Soviet Union left behind some very representative advanced weapons, which were also monitored by these European and American countries to prevent them from being sold to the Western camp other countries.

China currently has a good relationship with the United States, but this kind of friendship only exists on the economic level. The United States can give China the most-favored-nation treatment for trade, and European and American countries have also lowered tariffs on Chinese products, but in terms of politics and military affairs, they have always remained hostile to China. Naturally, it is impossible for them to remain indifferent to China's large-scale purchase of advanced weapons from the former Soviet Union. This is not in their geopolitical interests. Only in this way can the Western military threat be more effective.

Therefore, after China purchased the first batch of Su-1992 fighter jets in 27, the Russian government has been facing some external pressure, but extreme poverty and material shortages finally allowed Russia and the Chinese government to sign an export contract for a new batch of fighter jets.

In addition to the advanced third-generation fighter jets, the Chinese military has set its sights on another former Soviet Union's national defense weapon, that is, the Tu-160 heavy bomber known as the "White Swan".

But Russia will definitely not sell this kind of fighter jet. The only country that may sell it is Ukraine. Therefore, in the early 90s, the Chinese government had secretly sent a delegation to Ukraine for negotiations.

According to the memories of relevant experts who went to Ukraine to discuss military cooperation in later generations, China considered developing a new type of strategic bomber in the 90s. If it can buy the Ukrainian Tu-160, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the strategic bombing capability of the Chinese Air Force.

However, neither Russia nor the United States wanted to see the strategic killer Tu-160 appear in the sequence of the Chinese Air Force. Therefore, the United States and Russia staged a "good show" very tacitly. The United States first attacked Ukraine. It was proposed that if the demolition of Tu-160 can provide considerable economic compensation, and there are financial temptations such as high-priced recycling of parts by Western companies, the Ukrainian authorities, who were waiting to be done at the time, readily agreed, but after the Tu-160 was dismantled, there was no slag left. The West began to stay out of the matter. On the other hand, Russia threatened that if Ukraine refused to hand over the Tu-160, it would resolutely not allow a third country to obtain it, and even threatened Ukraine to submit by calling for foreign debts and cutting off oil and gas supplies.
