Wan Feng introduced Zhan Honggui to Jiang Tang and the others.
In fact, the two parties had already known each other last time.
"Brother Zhan will be the statistician for the Fuyuan station in the future. If he stays in Fuyuan, he will have to live in the house you rented. Please leave a place for him."
A house was rented in Wanfeng, Sijitun, for military personnel to live in. Since Zhan Honggui was the only one here, if he wanted to stay there, he had to stay in the accommodation arranged by the military.
Fuyuan is sixty miles away from Chengshan Township. It is unlikely that Zhan Honggui can go home every day unless he has a motorcycle.
"It's a piece of cake, don't worry! Wherever we live, there's room for him to eat and sleep."
"You and your soldiers won't discriminate against the common people, right?"
"What are you talking about? The saying that the military and the people are as close as fish and water is true."
That’s good, this matter is confirmed.
Now that the transaction is completed and the site has been decided, Wan Feng has to go back. When he returns, he will discuss with Shamilov the issue of diverting traffic from Birobidzhan to Fuyuan.
The Soviet side naturally had to rely on Shamilov.
How he arranges manpower in Birobidzhan is not Wan Feng's concern.
He cares about everything, so why does he need others to do anything? He can do it himself.
After saying goodbye to Zhan Honggui, Wan Feng and Han Guangjia returned to Heihe after two days of arduous journey.
After returning to Heihe Wanfeng, he immediately met with Shamilov and explained to him the matter of diverting half of the steel in Legaha to Khabarovsk.
"If we don't divert the goods now, Legaha and Sijitun won't be able to handle the backlog of goods with their current processing capacity. We Chinese still have the Spring Festival, and during that time, a large amount of steel will be piled up. This will only increase the backlog and become a burden. Therefore, I plan to divert most of the new steel coming from Komsomolsk-on-Amur to the Khabarovsk port for customs clearance, freeing up Legaha to process the backlog."
Shamilov also understood Wan Feng's approach and expressed his support.
He also knew that these Chinese people would be back home to celebrate the Spring Festival in just over a month, and that it would last a month. The Soviets would not celebrate the Spring Festival, although they would have an Orthodox Christmas on the 7th of next month.
Christmas was not a legal holiday in the Soviet Union and there was no holiday at all.
"I will go back immediately to arrange for people to build a freight station in Khabarovsk." Shamilov went back immediately to make arrangements.
If the gas turbine deal can be successfully concluded this time, Wan Feng will start planning the introduction of Su-27 fighter jets.
Because the Su-27 is not as simple as just introducing an engine. As the Soviet Union's national treasure, it is unprecedentedly difficult to replace the Su-27.
That requires the president's approval.
Dmitry dared to touch these things, but he certainly wouldn't dare to touch things like the Su-27 and nuclear submarines, unless he left the Soviet Union and betrayed his country and went somewhere else.
The Su-27 fighter was the most advanced fighter in the Soviet Union and even in the world at that time. If the Soviet Union had not collapsed, it would have been impossible to export it.
It was precisely because the Soviet Union was on the verge of disintegration and the country's economy was extremely tight that China's idea of purchasing Su-27 fighter jets became possible.
In May 1989, Gerbachev visited China and proposed resuming arms sales between the two countries and offering to purchase MiG-29 fighter jets without any political obstacles.
At that time, the fighter jet guarding China's skies was the J-7, which was derived from the MiG-21. Compared with the world's advanced fighter jets, it was simply vulnerable.
China also urgently needs advanced fighter jets to guard its skies.
Originally, China was discussing the Mirage 2000 with France, and the deal was almost done, but France unexpectedly raised the price by 30% for no reason.
This far exceeded China's military budget at the time.
In anger, China canceled its plan to purchase the Mirage 2000.
At this time, the Soviet Union extended an olive branch, and the two sides hit it off.
In September of the same year, China sent a delegation to the Soviet Union to observe the introduction of the MiG-29.
The aircraft prepared by the Soviet Union for the Chinese delegation were MiG-29 fighter jets, MiG-23MLD fighter jets, Su-24 front-line bombers and Su-25 army attack aircraft.
Please note that there is no such thing as Su-27 here. At that time, Su-27 was a secret in the Soviet Union, and China did not even know the existence of Su-27.
Someone in the Soviet Union secretly told the Chinese that if they wanted to buy a fighter jet, they should buy the Su-27. The MiG-29 was just a scam and would not work at all.
So the Chinese delegation turned around and began to focus on the Su-27. Although the Soviet side was extremely reluctant, the huge economic pressure forced them to compromise.
In this way, China purchased the Su-27 as it wished.
The Soviet Union was a heavy industrial country, but this was only its appearance. In fact, it was a country that was severely kidnapped by the military-industrial complex.
Because almost all of its heavy industries serve the military and have not been converted for civilian use at all.
If the Soviet Union had converted many of its military industrial projects to civilian use like China did from the early 1980s, it might have been able to hold on for a few more decades.
Its huge military-industrial enterprises have become a bloated tumor on its body without being converted into civilian use.
It would be unfair to put all the blame for the collapse of the Soviet Union on the military-industrial complex, but it is not unfair to put about half of the blame on them.
It was precisely because the materials were not converted for civilian use that the Soviet people had no access to ordinary daily necessities, social contradictions were aroused, and all these factors came together to cause the Soviet Union, a behemoth, to collapse.
