"You are right, this project is not a fair project cooperation in the first place."

"But the unfair part is: we give you too much!"

"Do you think we really need Tu-160 technology? No, even without these things, we can still build our own strategic bomber."

"But on the other hand, if you didn't have us, the PAK FA project would never be able to proceed smoothly."

"According to your original design, even if it were built, it would be nothing more than a different-looking fighter jet."

After saying these words, Sasha felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

He suddenly calmed down.

Yes, what the other party said is not wrong at all.

Without the technology of the Tu-160, they could still build the H-20, it would just take more time at best.

But without the technical assistance of the J-22, can our own side still create the PAK FA, or another private name "su-57"?

No, that's impossible.

Because there is a huge difference between ourselves and China.

That is, in the field of military industry, the movement trends of the two sides are different.

The other party is always moving forward and rising, and new basic technologies are emerging one after another, providing impetus for their development. Therefore, they can afford to wait, and they can wait.

But what about our own side?

How many years has it been since the disintegration of the Soviet Union without any breakthrough technological progress?

The Tupolev Institute, which was so famous back then, cannot even fully reproduce a Tu-160 now.

It is true that there are complex economic and social factors involved.

But it is undeniable that in this field of military industry, the old capital left by the former Soviet Union has almost been exhausted.

As for the PAK FA project, isn't it meant to inject some new vitality into the country's military industry before all the capital is used up?

What will happen if you can't even finish this project and lose the last chance to "extend your life"?

The fire will burn out.

Sasha gritted his teeth subconsciously.

I knew this clearly, but I was blinded by my arrogance.

Cold sweat broke out on his back instantly.

Just like what the assistant said, if the entire project is damaged due to his actions, the scope of the impact will definitely not be as big as what he sees in front of him.

It's over.

His eyes changed in an instant.

He looked at Yang Wei in front of him and said with some stuttering:

"The result of PAK FA will definitely not be a backward three-and-a-half-generation fighter aircraft, it must be a fourth-generation aircraft."

"Did you have the final say?"

Yang Wei asked teasingly.

Sasha's face was frozen, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yes, do I have the final say?

What a fart!

Marokov’s words don’t count, United Airlines’ words don’t count, even Russia as a whole doesn’t count.

The one who really has the final say is China, which holds the fourth-generation mobile phone technology.

To the extent that they are willing to take this project to the next level, then this project will be able to do so.

The more advanced they want PAK FA to be, the more advanced PAK FA will be.

But the premise of all this is that we cannot let them feel even the slightest threat.

Sasha understood.

He is an old man. Although he has not directly experienced the events of the last century, he has read many reports and heard many stories.

Therefore, he also knew very well why the two powerful countries at that time were inseparable from the beginning and suddenly drew swords against each other.

The reason is very simple and can be summarized in five words:

I don't want to be the second child.

At that time, it was the Chinese who didn’t want to be the second child.

But now, the one who doesn’t want to be the second best is me.

Thanks to their efforts, the Chinese people have really turned around today, decades later.

But on our side, can we regain our lost status through our own efforts?

At least, not in the short term.

Since it's impossible, the only option is to be the second child honestly!

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up straight.

Then, he looked at Yang Wei solemnly and said:

"Sorry, Mr. Yang."

"I was too impulsive and said some inappropriate words. I hope our friendship will not be affected by this."

"As for the technology you need, we will re-evaluate and submit it. I will be in charge here."

Seeing Sasha's changed attitude, Yang Wei finally relaxed.

He reached out and held Sasha's hand, comforting and said:

"It doesn't matter. When anyone loses control at work, I will never blame you for it."

"Don't worry, our cooperation will continue."

"Besides, I have a surprise to tell you."

"surprise?"

Sasha repeated it subconsciously, with a somewhat frightened tone.

"What kind of surprise?"

"About the PAK FA project."

"We have solved the problem of boundary layer turbulence in the belly inlet, and we have also designed a material specifically for this."

"This material can ensure that your fighter jet will have high structural strength under the premise of using tandem weapon bays - no weaker than the J-22."

"Really?"

Sasha's eyes widened.

What is repaying kindness with kindness?

This is repaying evil with kindness!

At this moment, he was completely impressed by Yang Wei's magnanimous mind regardless of past grudges.

"Can we use it now?"

Yang Wei smiled mysteriously and replied:

"Of course, of course."

"Can be used at any time."

"However, in exchange, we also hope that you can express something."

"We don't want much."

"How about 30 Mi-26 helicopters?"

Sasha suddenly closed her mouth.

Sure enough, all gifts have a price.

"Why do you need so many helicopters? Or transport helicopters? We only have 30 of them!"

he asked puzzledly.

"This is not something you should worry about. You just need to help us deliver the news to the country."

After hesitating for a moment, Sasha finally nodded.

As a result, the atmosphere between the two relaxed instantly.

At the same time, the door to Yang Wei's office was pushed open again.

Marokov pushed open the door and entered.
