After dinner, Wan Feng read the materials translated by Zhang Zhiyuan in his dormitory.
Amur Komsomolsk-on-Amur is located in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River. It was Chinese territory during the Qing Dynasty and was occupied by Tsarist Russia 130 years ago.
When the city was first built, the Soviet Union planned it as an industrial center for the Far East. Consequently, industrial production accounts for 80% of the city's total economic output and nearly half of the Khabarovsk Krai's total industrial output.
The largest proportion in the industrial structure is machinery manufacturing, followed by ferrous metals and petroleum processing and chemicals.
Mechanical manufacturing is the economic foundation of Amur Komsomolsk-on-Amur, with forty large production enterprises and countless small enterprises.
Among them, large enterprises include Amur Shipyard, Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Association, Amur Steel Plant, Komsomolsk-on-Amur Oil Processing Plant, Amur Tractor Plant, etc.
Among these enterprises, the most famous are the Amursk Shipyard and the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Association.
Before the 1990s, the Amursk Shipyard was a famous shipyard in the Soviet Union. Its most famous product was submarines, which mainly served the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
From conventional submarines to nuclear submarines, all are produced here, and even the famous ocean-going black hole Kilo-class submarines can be produced here.
In 2005, two of the eight Kilo-class submarines exported by Russia to China were produced by this shipyard.
This shipyard can also produce some frigates under 3,000 tons.
In addition to the Amursk Shipyard, another famous enterprise is the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Manufacturing Association.
The famous Su-27 was produced here.
The Su-27 was the most advanced fighter jet in the Soviet Union and even in the world at that time. It was not put into service until 1985.
In 1989, Gerbachev visited China and proposed lifting the ban on arms sales. The Chinese army took a fancy to this aircraft and finally reached an agreement after negotiations.
Although the Soviet Union had collapsed in 1991, Russia still kept its promise and delivered the first batch of 24 fighter jets.
Russia was under tremendous economic pressure at the time, and China bought the Su-27 production line and obtained production authorization to produce the J-11 series of fighter jets.
These are not things that Wan Feng should pay attention to. If he pays attention to these two factories, he will probably be invited to have tea with the KGB.
Wan Feng is concerned about the Amur Steel Plant and the Tractor Factory.
Steel mills naturally want to trade high-quality steel. There is very valuable steel here, and some high-quality steel can be used by the military.
The tractor factory here is a branch of the St. Petersburg Tractor Factory, and the Kirovitz tractors they produce are also what Wan Feng wants to introduce.
The Kirovitz was the most famous tractor in the Soviet Union at that time. Even decades later, it was still one of the top ten tractors in the world, and was no worse than those in the West.
This is why Wan Feng is optimistic about it.
He actually came here to take advantage of the Soviet Union's desperate situation in the past two years.
Wan Feng called Han Guangjia in.
"Third brother, if I gave you a fighter jet, could you fly it back to China?"
Han Guangjia's eyes didn't even move: "Fighter jet? You're not planning to deal in that thing, are you?"
"Is it okay to think about it?"
Han Guangjia shook his head. "It's best not to even think about it. That thing could cost you your life. Not to mention that you can't handle the Soviet Union. Even if you can fly over there, you won't be able to fly over to China. How are you going to pass the air traffic control identification? If you can't pass it, you might get shot down. Besides, I can't fly a fighter jet."
There was no worry about shooting down Wan Feng. China's air force at that time was extremely weak. It was almost impossible to expect the J-7 aircraft, which was derived from the MiG-21, to shoot down the Su-27, unless rockets were used.
However, this matter is indeed too complicated to operate, and he does not understand the mechanism involved.
It seems that it is just a thought.
It’s better to just focus on trading your own steel and tractors.
Shamilov rarely comes to China now, and traveling back and forth by boat is not as convenient as walking on the ice.
But he still came today, mainly to ask Wan Feng if he had any higher-proof liquor, preferably around 65 degrees.
Wan Feng was almost speechless at the Soviet people's love for wine.
Vodka was almost on the same level as God in the Soviet Union.
Wan Feng actually knew that the Soviet Union was not very fond of Chinese liquor, especially the sauce-flavored liquor. The liquors that suited their taste the most were probably Erguotou and the 62-degree Hengshui Laojiao.
However, such wine may be purchased in small quantities in Heilongjiang Province, but it is impossible to purchase in large quantities.
But it is not difficult to drink high-proof liquor.
The first batch of liquor just came out of the winery has an alcohol content of 70%, so it doesn't seem difficult for them to blend it to around 65 alcohol content.
If the Soviet Union had not introduced a prohibition on alcohol in 1985, they might not have recognized Chinese liquor.
The prohibition was originally intended to be responsible to the people, but the drafters ignored the Soviet Union's nature.
Soviet people could live without women or even meat, but they could not live without alcohol.
The prohibition not only failed to reduce the number of alcoholics, but on the contrary caused a sugar crisis throughout the Soviet Union.
There is no other reason, white sugar can be used to make wine.
As for how the Soviets used white sugar to make wine, Wan Feng had no idea.
If it were just sugar, it wouldn't kill you, but not everyone knows how to make wine with sugar. Those who don't will resort to all sorts of methods to kill themselves. They'll guzzle alcoholic products like cologne, rose water, detergent, and wood lacquer. Whether they die or not is up to you; I'll just satisfy my craving first.
People in the Soviet army were also like this, but the vision of soldiers was naturally a level higher, especially the air force who soared in the sky all year round, so their vision was even more extraordinary.
They said that cologne, detergent, and wood paint are too low-grade and cannot represent my realm and courage at all. If I want to drink airplane antifreeze, that's not a problem.
The antifreeze in MiG-29 fighter jets contains ethylene glycol, which tastes just like vodka. However, drinking too much can affect eyesight. Blindness is a blessing, but death is no big deal. The Soviet air force, however, was quite intelligent. To prevent fatalities from drinking, they devised a naive tactic: tighten their belts a notch with each drink. When the belt hurt, they knew they were done and went home to take a shower.
Compared with the MiG-29, the MiG-25 is much more advanced. Each air intake of the MiG-25 is equipped with an ethanol sprayer to reduce the intake temperature, which is filled with 250 liters of ethanol.
You say that if such a treasure exists, would the Soviet Air Force let it sit there idle? So this ethanol often ended up in the mouths of our comrades.
