Putting aside Grumman's bad opinions, Lieutenant General Jamal felt very hopeful when he saw the American media reporting China's advanced fighter jets with great fanfare. So he flew directly from the United States to China, and found the Ministry of Aviation Industry of China with ease.
To be honest, there are many units across the country that have objections to Qi Yiming's existence. There is no doubt that the Ministry of Aviation Industry and its subordinate AVIC are definitely the main force among them.
Because he controls the Dalinol Red Alert Base and has the trust of senior officials such as Ping Lao, Qi Yiming has a tendency to develop into a centralized dictator in the domestic military and logistics circles. In the previous Tomcat introduction plan, Qi Yiming had all the power. At most, he greeted the Military Commission, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other units and asked for cooperation. However, it was really people in this field, including the Ministry of Aviation Industry and China Aviation Technology Corporation, which monopolized the import and export of aircraft. , are all very uncomfortable with the loss of their power.
Later, it went too far. Qi Yiming directly killed Shen Fei, and even invited someone to take action directly. The Ministry of Aviation Industry tried to resist, but it was useless. Later, even Minister Hong of the General Logistics Department came out to give him a hand. They do the work. Although not willing to do so, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation still technically belongs to the Ministry of Aviation Industry, but the leadership and structure will change.
They originally thought it would come to an end, but as soon as Qi Yiming left for Shenfei, nearly half of the factory cadres were replaced or transferred. This stupid young man even caught a few Shuoshu through accounting, auditing and other means, and dealt with them without any mercy. This is equivalent to another big slap in the face of the Ministry of Aviation Industry. However, the Ministry of Aviation Industry is like a little daughter-in-law, looking for someone to complain to, but in the end, because Qi Yiming is a very important person, no one can touch or want to Making trouble for him ended up being nothing.
Minister Mo Wenxiang has a good heart. Although he feels unhappy, he still remembers the large amount of benefits Qi Yiming brought to the ministry and the technologies that were transferred to the enterprise. However, others did not have it so easy, especially Sun Zhaoqing, the general manager of AVIC, and others who resented him.
However, this may also be related to the fact that the higher the level, the less aware of Qi Yiming¡¯s true energy. Minister Mo knew part of the situation at the Red Alert Base, but the big and small figures in AVIC only thought that Qi Yiming was really hiding during the Cultural Revolution. People who do scientific research in some desert or deep mountain.
So, when Lieutenant General Jamal came to China with sincerity and was about to ask the Chinese brothers about the specific situation of the FC-1 Xiaolong fighter, the people from AVIC played a little trick.
After learning about Pakistan¡¯s desire to purchase aircraft, Sun Zhaoqing immediately approached Mo Wenxiang, Minister of Aviation Industry.
"Minister Mo, the Pakistani Air Force wants to see the FC-1 Fierce Dragon fighter jet. What do you think?"
Mok Wenxiang was approving documents. He put down his pen when he heard this and sighed: "What can you think of? Although FC-1 is a domestically produced weapon, it does not belong to the same system as us. In the final analysis, this matter still has to be dealt with by F- 14, all should be collected and sent to Comrade Qi Jingren.¡±
Qi Yiming's current official name is Qi Jingren. Anyway, as long as there are figures in our party, most people have changed their names. Of course Qi Yiming had his own considerations when changing his name. His identity is sensitive and his true identity must be kept secret, so he shows himself as Qi Jingren. .
Sun Zhaoqing looked at Minister Mo's frustrated look, gritted his teeth and encouraged: "Minister Mo, the technical information of FC-1 Xiaolong was transferred to Chengdu Aircraft before, but after Chengfei took that batch of information, what happened? They missed the point. They thought the J-10 had high technology, so they focused on developing the J-10. As for how much they have absorbed, they still don¡¯t know.¡±
Mo Wenxiang frowned and asked, "Old Sun, what do you mean by this?"
Sun Zhaoqing encouraged: "Chengfei's technical level is still good, and its management is more open-minded than Shenfei. Now they have received a group of nearly a hundred engineers from Qi Jingren, and their strength has greatly increased. We have FC-1 in our hands. We also have the technology and equipment, so why send the matter to Qi Jingren? Do we, the Ministry of Aviation Industry, our affiliated companies, and our AVIC itself, have brought everything with us since we had this Qi Jingren? Salary and pension?¡±
"What are you talking about!" Mok Wenxiang scolded with a little anger.
Sun Zhaoqing apologized and hurriedly said: "Let's be honest, we are now capable of completing the manufacturing of FC-1. The idea put forward by Pakistan last year was to purchase 80 new fighter jets at a single price of US$6 million. This is a business of nearly 500 million U.S. dollars, which can create a lot of foreign exchange for the country! And to be fair, Qi Jingren is currently focused on Shen Fei's rectification and F-14 introduction projects, and I'm afraid he can't take care of it himself. Let¡¯s build FC-1 for Lao Ba. In that case, why don¡¯t we take over?¡±
Mo Wenxiang originally didn¡¯t want to get involved in this bad thing. He also roughly understood that Sun Zhaoqing and AVIC and other??What are you thinking? But after thinking about it for a while, Sun Zhaoqing couldn't be wrong. Almost all the companies under the Ministry of Aviation Industry are currently engaged in technological reforms. Qi Yiming also sent a set of company management reform measures before. Although some things are written in detail, this kind of behavior of riding on your head and acting like a boss , which also made Mo Wenxiang not very bearable.
What¡¯s more, from the perspective of familiarity or rationality, let Chengdu Aircraft quickly develop the FC-1 so that it can export it and avoid the phenomenon that both the Ministry of Aviation Industry and China National Aviation Technology Corporation will be ignored by Qi Yiming in disguise in the future.
Mok Wenxiang frowned and asked, "Can Chengdu Aircraft do it? XAC received Feibao's technical information from Qi Jingren in February, sent people and equipment, and now they are producing it themselves." The prototype of the Flying Leopard has not yet been completed.¡±
"Oh, my minister, we are not those freaks like Qi Jingren. How can we complete R&D and technological transformation in a few months? Yes, I heard that the 617 gang took two months to complete it. We have purchased a new tank, and it has been spotted by Pakistan and Iraq, but the one that runs on the ground is not the same as the one that flies in the sky. What¡¯s more, we can see the JH-7 flying from the West within this year. "Qi Jingren has given Xifei the heaviest task among all the companies. There are so many Universiades, anti-submarine aircraft, and early warning aircraft. Xifei is spinning around and is exhausted," Sun Zhaoqing explained complainingly.
Mo Wenxiang nodded and said, "It's better to call Lao Tu at Cheng Fei and ask if they can do it."
He immediately hesitated again and asked: "But how will the Air Force Lieutenant General Lao Ba reply? What should they do if they want to see the aircraft? Qi Jingren still can't get around this matter. Cheng Fei has a J-10 in his hand. But there is no Xiaolong. In addition, Lao Ba also wants to use this opportunity to develop his own aviation industry. Chengfei is now half-full, and if it is passed on to Lao Ba, wouldn't it be a mistake? "
Sun Zhaoqing said: "You are thinking too much. Chengdu Aircraft Co., Ltd. does not have a prototype. Qi Jingren and we wanted to build two aircraft, so we said that Chengdu Aircraft Co., Ltd. wanted to do experiments, and then gave them to the Pakistan Air Force for testing. As for the production issue, We should hurry up and tell Pakistan that our main production capacity is currently used to deal with trade with the Iranians. I am afraid that they need to wait for a while. After all, the FC-1 is such an advanced thing, and there is nothing to wait for a few more years. event."
Mok Wenxiang added: "After all, this matter is related to China-Pakistan diplomatic issues, so it is better to be cautious. If something goes wrong, the two of us will be guilty. I support you to let Chengfei build FC-1 Yes, everyone is discussing these days, saying that the Xiaolong is so powerful that it will definitely sell better than the J-7 in the future. There is no doubt that we must master the technology of manufacturing the Xiaolong, otherwise Comrade Qi Jingren would not have to give us the technology. This matter is too petty to judge a gentleman's heart. I'm afraid it's not beautiful. In the end, we have to talk to Comrade Qi Jingren. We still need his help. Besides, there are so many of his people flying there, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Air Force. Even if you want to wear the same pants with him, it is unrealistic after all. It is better to make it clear to him openly and win his support. I think this is not impossible. "
Sun Zhaoqing was full of reluctance, but he could not deny that what Mo Wenxiang said was correct, so he could only take a step back and said: "Well, you find Qi Jingren, tell him openly, we will definitely do this this time We need to get the leadership of the project and let him help us as a part. Oh, by the way, why don't we talk to this person and loan him people from another aircraft factory to Chengdu Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to directly produce it? ?¡±
Mo Wenxiang smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew the relevant situation of Dalinol Base and understood that this kind of thing was not practical. He said: "It's better not to think too much about such things. It's better to tell Cheng Fei in advance and let them turn around quickly. Xiaolong¡¯s project.¡±
"Well, I understand. According to Lao Tu and the others, the FC-1 and the J-10 share some technologies. There shouldn't be much problem in turning around now."
So the Ministry of Aviation Industry immediately started to operate. On the one hand, it reported to the central high-level officials, hoping to win this project. On the other hand, it found Liao Huairen, a guy from the General Staff Intelligence Unit and a good personal friend of Qi Yiming, and used him to follow Qi Yiming. Yiming made this clear.
Sun Zhaoqing also showed his attitude of being in charge, warmly received Lieutenant General Jamal who was visiting China, and expressed his willingness to work with Pakistan in the construction of defense industry. However, he also resorted to procrastination tactfully, deliberately pretending to listen to Pakistan's opinions, and took out the proposal that Jamal submitted to China last year and asked Jamal if there was anything that needed to be changed.
Jamal naively thought that Sun Zhaoqing was really doing this for the needs of the Pakistan Air Force, and happily stayed in the capital to discuss with relevant people from the Ministry of Aviation Industry. There are also engineers stationed by Qi Yiming in the circle of the Ministry of Aviation Industry, and they have a deep understanding of Xiaolong.?I can handle it completely.
Until Qi Yiming returned to Beijing from Huludao, Liao Huairen found him.
