After hearing that basalt might appear in the hovercraft transaction, the military could no longer sit still, and Old Man An came to Longjiang again.
He has to come, this is a big deal.
In the field of anti-ship missiles, China's level at that time was basically first-class in the world. Even if it was not the top, it was definitely not behind.
China's anti-ship missiles were naturally learned from the Soviet Union. In the late 1950s, China introduced the Type 544 anti-ship missile from the Soviet Union.
That is the famous River Styx.
Aiji once used four Styx missiles to sink Israel's largest destroyer at the time, the Eirat, in the Middle East War, which made the Styx famous overnight.
After China introduced the Styx, it developed dozens of anti-ship missiles in three series, namely Upstream, Sea Eagle and Eagle Strike, through digestion, absorption and independent innovation.
They represent ship-based anti-ship missiles, shore-based anti-ship missiles and air-launched anti-ship missiles respectively.
Everyone does their job and lives in peace.
But with the expansion of multiple uses of one bomb, it would be confusing to keep so many series.
So, after the integration, Sea Eagle first replaced Upstream and then was replaced by Eagle Strike.
In the later period, the Eagle Strike was the only dominant anti-ship missile in China.
From the Eagle Strike 6 in the 1960s to the Eagle Strike 81 and 82 in the 1980s, they had basically reached the world's advanced level at that time.
Compared with the Basalt equipped in 1976, the two are on par with each other.
The advantages of basalt are long range, great power, and strong pit interference ability.
It has a range of 550 kilometers, and theoretically three missiles can sink an aircraft carrier.
But the disadvantages are equally obvious: because there is no terminal maneuver, the route is rigid and the maneuverability is poor.
Even so, basalt attracted great attention from the military, which was different from the tanks and engines introduced through underground channels.
After all, this thing is called a missile.
Besides, China and the Soviet Union had been hostile for more than 20 years, and the Chinese military was still eager to learn about some of the Soviet equipment after the 1960s.
So Old Man An came again in person.
"You kid, you even dare to bring back missiles. Are you planning to bring back nuclear warheads in the future?" Old Man An asked with a smile in the combat meeting room of the Fuyuan Border Defense Force.
Wan Feng was very reluctant to come to Fuyuan, but he had no choice but to come.
There are still four or five days before Dimitri is due to hand over the hovercraft, so he was brought here in advance.
As soon as I arrived here, I hadn't even sat down when Old Man An called me over.
"No, no, I definitely don't have that intention. This was all pushed to me by the other party. I didn't plan to do anything like this." Wan Feng quickly denied it. This was no joke. Dealing with nuclear warheads? That could kill people.
"Last time, they said they would bring some small things over, and I didn't know what they would be. But a few days ago, they told me about this and another thing called something. What was it called? Let me think."
Dimitri seemed to have mentioned that there was a missile, which seemed to be used for anti-ship purposes.
"Now I remember, it's called the Patriot's Eye-Gouging Knife."
Old Man An's face froze. "KH31P anti-radiation missile? The other side got that thing too?"
Wan Feng didn't know what the KH31P anti-radiation missile was. He was not familiar with it.
"We were considering importing this missile, and we didn't expect you to find one here. This will save us some money."
Wan Feng was depressed. The things I exchanged for also cost money, right?
"What else?"
"I don't know. When they were trying to sell me these things, I said I didn't want any infantry equipment. I don't know what else they had. They said they would load it onto the hovercraft and let us see for ourselves."
Old Man An didn't ask any more questions, and I don't know what he was thinking about.
Old Man An was thinking again, and Wan Feng was also thinking about something.
Although he was reluctant to come to Fuyuan, he decided to make the best of it since he was already here. It was a good opportunity for him to go see Zhan Honggui.
It seems like it’s been more than a year since I last came to Fuyuan?
I guess his new house has already been built and the shop has been opened.
I wonder if little girl Zhan Ling is becoming more and more like Luan Feng, and if Zhan Shitou still has a dark face all day long?
Anyway, Dimitri's deal will take a few days, so how about staying in Chengshan for two days? That way, I can avoid seeing those old faces of Old Man An and Zhu Guoxiong.
"According to what you said just now, the Soviets seem to be very anxious to sell their products. Don't they know that the more pretentious they are, the better the price they can get?" Old Man An thought for a long time and asked this question.
Still putting on airs? If you don't, you can't even stand still. If you continue to put on airs, you'll be doomed.
"General, firstly, the pressure of life in the Soviet Union is increasing. Not only are ordinary Soviet citizens, but even the military is running low on supplies. They desperately need supplies, so they don't have time for pretense. Secondly, the Soviet Union has already released definite news that all of its border crossings will be closed at the beginning of next year."
"All closed?"
Wan Feng nodded: "The people on the other side told me that they are all closed."
Old Man An pondered, "So something big is going to happen in the Soviet Union? Then what's the matter with Gorbachev visiting China at the end of the year?"
Is Gerbachev going to visit China at the end of the year?
Isn't it next May? That's half a year early!
"Why did the Soviet Union close the port for no reason? What did I say just now?" Old Man An seemed to remember something and changed the question.
"What did you say? Nothing!" Wan Feng immediately pretended to be confused.
"Little brat, if I said anything just now, just pretend you didn't hear it, and don't spread it."
Do you think I'm stupid? I'd spread something like this. I'm not planning on eating steamed bread and picking up soap.
"Of course something happened."
"Is it the split you mentioned?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe something like a split will happen."
"That would be best. Okay, go ahead."
Wan Feng and Old Man An said goodbye and left. In the yard, they saw Zhu Guoxiong chatting with a few soldiers at the gate of the border station.
"Grandpa, I want to go to Chengshan Township and talk to the border station. Can you give me a ride?"
"You're going to Lao Zhan's house?"
Wan Feng nodded.
"Go ahead, Xiao Liu, arrange a car to take Xiao Wan to Chengshan."
A few minutes later, Wan Feng and Han Guangjia got on a jeep and headed straight for Chengshan Township.
It is more than 60 miles from Fuyuan to Chengshan Township, and the jeep took more than 40 minutes to enter Chengshan Town.
Compared with a year ago, Chengshan Town has not changed much. The streets are still the same streets, and the buildings are still the same buildings.
The only change is the addition of a courtyard-like house next to the township government.
Across the road from Chengshan Township Government are two schools, Chengshan Township Central Primary School and Fuyuan No. 15 Middle School.
It was the end of the third class in the morning. Students of all ages poured out of the school gate and into a shop just west of the township government.
The name of the store is: Guizhi Store.
