Chapter 248 Without us, who are you?

"Are you kidding? Are they beating you back again?"

Sasha, the Russian chief engineer in charge of the PAK FA project, frowned at the report in front of him and said reluctantly.

The assistant engineer on the side sighed and said:

"There is no other way. They have already said that if the technology this time does not satisfy them, they will directly stop cooperation on the PAK FA project."

"Now, most of PAK FA's designs rely on them for optimization. Stopping cooperation has a great impact on us and does not meet the requirements of our superiors."

"We have no choice"

Upon hearing his words, Sasha slammed the table and stood up angrily.

"But it was agreed from the beginning that all they want is information on the Tu-160 project."

"Now, what we give them is also the Tu-160. What else are they dissatisfied with?"

There was an indescribable feeling of frustration in his heart, which was the same as when he was blackmailed by bullies in school.

What are you doing?

It seems that not long ago, there was a clear gap between our country and China in the field of "technology". How come now, the situation is completely reversed, and our country has to act according to their faces?

Even if it is a technological explosion, it is not exaggerated to this extent, right?

Thinking of this, he continued to speak without waiting for the assistant to answer:

"No, I can't compromise on this."

"As long as they start this, their appetite will become bigger and bigger in the future."

"Now we need an improved gas filling device, but what about in the future? Wouldn't they directly ask us to fly the Tu-160 over and deliver it to them?"

"I have to teach them a lesson."

"Isn't it just to suspend PAK FA? We can also suspend their H-20 project."

"I want to see how they can continue to build bombers without our assistance!"

The assistant opposite had a troubled look on his face. He looked at Sasha hesitantly, and after a long time, he said:

"I think we should at least discuss it with Mr. Marokov first."

"This cooperation was brought about by us with great difficulty. If the project is delayed or the cooperation breaks down due to this incident, I think even you cannot bear this responsibility."

"I can afford it!"

Sasha said decisively.

"I said, this is a technical cooperation project, not a unilateral transfer of benefits."

"Now, what they get from us has far exceeded what they gave us. As the chief engineer, I have reason to make my own decision."

"As long as the decision is beneficial to the country, then there is no problem!"

With that said, Sasha walked around the desk, opened the door and walked out.

The assistant followed him closely and asked:

"Sir, where are you going?"

Sasha replied without looking back:

"I'm going to find their chief engineer, Yang Wei! I have to make him understand that even if it's an exchange, it should be an equal exchange!"

"You don't have to follow me, just stay in the office and wait for the news!"

"If Marokov comes to see me, tell him that I went to negotiate with those greedy Chinese people!"

Looking at Sasha's decisive back, the assistant sighed helplessly.

From the bottom of his heart, he could understand Sasha's mood.

After all, Sasha has almost never suffered a loss from anyone in his decades of career.

But this time, the other party's attitude was extremely arrogant and even threatening.

It's normal for Sasha to be angry for a moment, but is this kind of anger really right?

The world has changed.

Thinking of this, he returned to the office.

He knew he couldn't persuade Sasha, but at least he should report his situation to the superiors as soon as possible.

We can't let him really cause trouble.

If these Chinese people are really annoyed, the initial investment will be in vain, and further cooperation between the two countries will become a delusion.

This is not something the superiors want to see.

Sasha moved very quickly. Only half an hour later, he had found Yang Wei, who was in charge of the PAK FA cooperation project.

As soon as he entered his office, Sasha started shouting.

"I want to complain!"

"You are extremely disrespectful to us and have completely violated the original agreement of this project!"

"Even if there are problems, you can clearly communicate through our engineers!"

"But now, you have directly bypassed all communication channels and issued us a threat to 'terminate the project'!"

"This is unreasonable! And very impolite!"

Yang Wei sat in his seat and looked at Sasha across from him in shock. For a moment, he didn't realize what he was talking about.

Only after Sasha pounded the table and pumped her fists and delivered an impassioned speech in front of him did he finally figure out the whole story.

In fact, the matter is not complicated. It is just that the 605 Institute sent a warning letter to the Russian technical team.

Perhaps the wording of this letter was not very polite and touched Sasha's sensitive self-esteem.

——

However, this is obviously a strategy.

Deliberately pretending to be angry to gain more benefits.

Yang Wei is also a veteran, and he doesn't think he will be fooled by this.

So, he completely ignored Sasha's emotions, and only waited for him to vent before calmly asking him a question:

"Mr. Sasha, I want to ask you."

"Without our help, when are you going to solve the problem of stealth coating?"

Upon hearing this, Sasha was stunned for a moment.

"Stealth coating. No matter when, we will always solve it!"

"I mean, when?"

Yang Wei continued to repeat his question.

"One year, maybe two years, maybe five years or ten years! But we will always solve it!"

Sasha's expression was determined, as if he had already made a plan for this ambitious goal.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Yang Wei's face, and then he continued to ask:

"Well, the stealth coating is not that difficult. You can indeed solve it - in 5 years, that's how we calculate it."

"So, what about the problem with the PAK FA body? You also know that PAK FA currently has a big problem with the strength of the body. The main reason is that the materials are not up to standard and the design has major flaws, right?"

"How long do you plan to spend on solving this problem?"

".Without you, we can solve it within five years."

This time, Sasha did not beat around the bush, but answered directly.

"What about the engine? A fourth-generation machine can't continue to use your outdated three-rotor engine, right?"

"No, you don't need to answer me about this, because I know the answer - at least 10 years, or even 20 years, before you have the opportunity to develop the next generation of aero engines."

"Also, the actual performance of this machine is not yet known."

Hearing Yang Wei's words, Sasha subconsciously wanted to refute, but Yang Wei waved his hand to stop him.

"Mr. Sasha, you don't have to rush to refute me, because I still have questions."

"The engine problem has been solved, but what about the hydraulic system? Where about the avionics? Where about the flight control? Where about the radar?"

"Where is everything needed for a mature fourth-generation phone?"

"High mobility, high situational awareness, and high stealth. At least on these three points, you simply don't have the ability to achieve it yourself."

"So, do you understand now? Mr. Sasha?"
