When they heard about military trade, Zhu Guoxiong became excited.
"So we can buy Kilo-class submarines and Su-27 aircraft?"
"We can buy not only Kilo-class submarines and Su-27s, but also destroyers and aircraft carriers. We can even buy nuclear weapons."
"Forget about nuclear weapons. We can build them ourselves, so there's no need to buy them. But aircraft carriers? I don't even dare to think about that."
"Why would I be afraid to think about it? The Soviet Union already has an aircraft carrier that's 70% complete. It seems like this aircraft carrier won't be finished. It might even be abandoned halfway through. How do we know it won't be ours?"
"You're really bold. I don't think anyone in the Military Commission would have the guts to do that."
"Think about it, there's nothing to be afraid of. You won't have to bear any legal responsibility."
"Even if we can buy it, an unfinished aircraft carrier is of little use."
"We can just bring it back and build it ourselves. It'll just be a training exercise. If we can build this half of an aircraft carrier, building a complete one won't be a problem at all."
Zhu Guoxiong looked at Wan Feng in confusion for a long time. "Xiao Wan, why do I feel like you have more confidence in our country than us soldiers do? It's as if in your eyes there's nothing our country can't make. Where does such confidence come from?"
Of course there is a reason for the source of confidence, but Wan Feng cannot say it.
"Since I was born in China, if I don't have confidence in my own country, who can I have confidence in? In the West? I'm not a sheepdog. I have no confidence in the West. Their advancement is only based on the wealth accumulated by plundering the world in the past. When there is no place for them to plunder in the future world, their decline is inevitable. In the future, the world still depends on us, China."
Zhu Guoxiong nodded. "What you said seems to make sense. I also firmly believe that China will one day be revitalized. Unfortunately, I may not be able to see it. Let's not talk about those illusory things in the future. Let's just talk about the present. Even if Huasu opens the door to military trade, our country is still very poor and may not have that much money to buy it."
"That's not a problem. We can barter. Just like me, the Soviet Union is short of various supplies. We don't have much else, but we still have some miscellaneous supplies. Can't we just barter?"
"Yeah! You're good at this. I'll come to you when I need something else."
Wan Feng secretly groaned, "I'm just too weak to buy eggplants. Why would I even mention bartering? I'm just looking for trouble! What a rude guy!"
"Grandpa! I'm just a commoner. I won't get involved in such a big national affair, and I can't get involved. Please don't come to me. I'm very busy."
"Little guy, when it comes to contributing to the country, you always make excuses. Your ideological education needs to be taken to the next level. Are you a Party member?"
Oh no! Are they sending me to the Party School? I have no plans to get involved in politics!
"no!"
"That's right. You're not even a Party member, so naturally you have problems with your ideological awareness. I guess I'll have to give you a political lesson later."
"No! Don't worry about that. I love to sleep in politics class, so it's useless to attend."
"You kid, you are just a piece of mud that can't be helped."
Mud can only be thrown against the wall, and of course it cannot be lifted up by helping it.
Gorbachev visited China under tremendous economic pressure. After the visit, the doors to military trade between the two countries were opened, and China has since purchased a large number of advanced weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union.
Buying some weapons and equipment was secondary. The most important thing was to introduce the Su-27 production line and obtain technology transfer from the Soviet Union.
It can be said that the great changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have greatly enhanced China's naval and air force strength.
The development of events and Wan Feng's predictions seemed to be proceeding according to the script.
On October 1, 1988, Gerbachev visited China. The leaders of the two countries decided to resume exchanges in various fields between the two countries, and the door to arms trade was reopened.
Unfortunately, the Soviet Union was already terminally ill, and these measures could not prevent its collapse.
A few days after Golbachev visited China, Shamilov shipped the complete set of chemical research equipment needed by Wan Feng to Heihe.
There are actually dozens of large and small packaging boxes for these jars and cans.
"I got you everything you wanted."
"Shamilov! Thank you so much! I'll treat you to lunch."
"Don't try to play tricks on me. Pay first and then eat. Don't let me drink too much after dinner and you pay less."
Look at how cunning this guy is.
"I found an agent in Sijitun. I think Heihe is too conspicuous. Sijitun is a good location. It's right between your Xiaowujia Border Station and the Hormoki Border Station. It's dozens of miles away, so it's relatively safe. So I chose that place."
Oh my god! Could this guy be in contact with Li Guangyin?
I just happened to ask Li Guangyin to sell motorcycles after the port is closed. This is a route designed specifically for Shamilov.
Wan Feng’s guess was correct, this person was indeed Li Guangyin.
Wan Feng felt that he should talk to Li Guangyin and not do anything rash, otherwise it would be terrible if he went in.
After the equipment sent by Shamilov landed, Wan Feng immediately sent Han Meng and Zhang Xian to escort these things back to Jiangwei and hand them over to the Chemical Research Department.
It is already mid-October and the base's supply has completely stopped.
There are still more than 20 days of river closure period, and the goods in the warehouse are sufficient to last until the port is closed.
This year's winter seems to have come a little earlier than last year.
When the weather gets cold, transportation is the most severely affected.
In the morning, the trucks have to bake the oil pans and heat the water. When these tasks are completed and the trucks are dispatched, it is already eight o'clock in the morning, which is one hour less working time than in the summer.
But this is not what Wan Feng cares about. What he cares about is the steelmaking technology problems caused by Dimitri.
It has been about a month and a half since the last time the two of them talked, and there has been no movement from Dimitri.
There are still two and a half months from now until the port closes, and I don’t know whether Dimitri can get the technology.
It seems that this matter is a bit difficult.
Unfortunately, Li Mingze has now settled in Yanbian, China, so without him there would be a lot less information.
This guy has disappeared since settling in China. I guess he is busy hibernating now.
Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao are now the coolest people in Heihe. These two guys ride their motorcycles on the streets of Heihe every day, becoming the envy of passers-by.
There are only a few hundred motorcycles on the entire Heihe Street.
Most of them are small motorcycles like 50 and motorcycles like Jiangwei 70 and Jialing 70.
There are not many motorcycles like Nanwan 100 in Heihe, only about ten at most.
Wan Feng seldom saw these two guys recently, and the small street was about to become a thing of the past, so the two guys handed the small street over to their subordinates and concentrated on running the game hall.
