Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1295 Meeting Il for the First Time 76
Amidst a roar, the first An-12 transport plane first landed on the runway of the airport.After the An-22 had just drawn out of the runway and landed on the apron, another An-[-] transport plane flew in from a distance and landed on the runway.Watching the two planes land at the airport, Jiang Chen had a smile on his face.These are the two transport planes they bought. Although they are a bit old, they are still planes.And it is a relatively good model, which will play a very important role in their future development in the aviation industry.

Immediately afterwards, another roar came from the sky, this time the sound was much louder than those of the two planes before.Then a giant plane appeared in Jiang Chen's field of vision, and then the figure got closer and closer, and finally landed on the runway.Jiang Chen was very excited when he saw this giant gliding on the runway.Although this plane is very different from the An-124 that Jiang Chen and the others were expecting, and it is even smaller.But even so, Jiang Chen's interest in it is still not halved, just because it has a famous name, it is called Yier 76.That's right, the third plane was the Il-76 transport plane, and Jiang Chen didn't expect it to come, so it was a surprise.

In the late 20s, due to the fact that the An-60, the main model of the Soviet Union’s air transport, appeared to have a small load and insufficient range, in order to improve its military air transport capacity, the Soviet Union urgently needed a new type with a longer range, a larger load, and a faster speed. Military transport aircraft.So it was decided to develop a transport aircraft similar to the old American C12 heavy transport aircraft to make up for the lack of military air transport capabilities of the Soviet Union.Its design goal is to be able to carry more than 141 tons of cargo and fly more than 40 kilometers in 6 hours.It can also take off from most airports in the Soviet Union with insufficient or simple facilities. At the same time, it has to adapt to different climates in the Soviet Union, mainly to overcome the severe cold climate in the near polar region and Siberia and the variable temperature environment in the Caucasian region.After setting these conditions, the I*Shen Design Bureau set up the Lockheed C5 as a semi-imaginary enemy for the aircraft.

In fact, they did the first Il-76 prototype to fly for the first time in 71, and it was publicly exhibited at the Bali International Aviation Expo in the same year. In 74, the Air Transport Command of the Soviet Air Force conducted an acceptance appraisal and considered that the aircraft met the requirements.Then the test flight lasted until 75, and then it was put into mass production and delivered to the army and civil aviation.Up to now, that is, in 700, almost 50 planes have been produced, and the annual output is more than [-] planes.

Il-76 is the most successful heavy transport aircraft in the world. So far, more than 76 countries have used or are using Il-800, with more than [-] operators.The Soviet Union and its successor Russia are the largest military users, while Ukraine and Belarus are the largest civilian users.Of course, we have to say another country about this plane, and that is us.In order to obtain this transport aircraft, we have paid too much, just to obtain a transport aircraft unit that can provide our army with strategic projection capabilities.

It is precisely because of these hardships and hardships that after entering the new century, our aviation industry decided that it is better to build such an important aircraft by ourselves.Otherwise, it would be absolutely uncomfortable to be constantly stuck in the neck by others.So after years of hard work and public relations, our Yun 20 was finally born.However, due to the restrictions of some relevant conditions, yes, our self-made large-scale transport aircraft has been delayed in mass production, and we even need to continue to purchase Il-76 transport aircraft from Russia and Ukraine.

So when Jiang Chen saw this plane, he had already made up his mind to see how many of this plane he could get back.Of course, the relevant technical drawings and R&D personnel also got some back by the way.This will greatly promote their use of this aircraft in the future and the development of our military transport aircraft.

After landing, the IL-76 taxied for a while, but it didn't stop immediately. Instead, the plane turned around on the runway and then stopped at one end of the runway.Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said, "You're really vigilant."

And Zhang Sai, who was standing beside him, said with a smile: "Look at this, he is planning to leave at any time, obviously he doesn't believe you."

"Hehe, it's no wonder, after all, I'm taking a big risk." Jiang Chen smiled and said.

Then the plane stopped, but the cargo door behind the Il-76 did not open, but a small door was opened on the side of the fuselage.This is also prepared for the quick opening and closing of the hatch. It seems that they have also made a very detailed plan.

Immediately afterwards, several soldiers wearing Soviet-style camouflage came out from the cabin door of the plane.Although they didn't have any weapons in their hands, Jiang Chen could tell that they all had pistols hidden in their waists, and he looked around with keen eyes.After looking at Jiang Chen and the others and the empty airport, these fighters returned to the plane door and said something inside.Immediately, an old man wearing Soviet camouflage but without a military rank on his shoulders and several middle-aged men got off the plane.There were two young men with oriental faces following them, Jiang Chen still had a little impression of them, they should be under Fatty's hands.

Seeing Jiang Chen and the others standing on the runway, the old man and casual person walked towards Jiang Chen.The two young men walked towards Jiang Chen and said excitedly, "Mr. Jiang, we are Mr. Chen (fatty) and asked the two of us to accompany General Vaniechka to act as translators and introducers."

"Oh, good, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Chen smiled.

"Hehe, it should be." Then the two staff members waited for the old man, General Vanichka and his party to come.Then he smiled at General Vaniechka and said in Russian: "General Vaniechka, this is the general manager of our company, Jiang Chen. This is..."

Seeing this translation, I hesitated and didn't know how to introduce Zhang Sai.Jiang Chen smiled and said, "This is a consultant I specially invited to take care of some problems in our negotiations."

General Vaniechka nodded to Zhang Sai, then smiled at Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, it's not easy to see you, do you know how much risk I took this time?"

"Hehe, you can just call me Jiang. I'm sorry for this, but for some reason, I can't go to your place for the time being." Jiang Chen explained with a smile.

"Oh, I'm curious, what can prevent us from meeting?" General Vanichka continued to ask.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I believe you also know something about me. When I went to your place a few years ago, I was directly detained by the KGB, and then I went through a very horrific interrogation. I almost died there. So now I have some shadows about you, so I trouble you to take the risk."

After hearing this, General Vanichka patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and sighed, "Don't worry, kid, that department is over with the end of the Soviet Union."

"Hehe, I know. But what I know better is that a large number of them are still there, and this department just changed its brand and its allegiance." Jiang Chen shook his head and said.

"Those are bloody traitors, they have lost the faith they should have!" General Vanichka cursed upon hearing this.
