Text 294 Refuse to transfer key technology

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Americans acted quickly. After they visited Taiqiang, they made a short evaluation and believed that it was indeed necessary to purchase an attack aircraft with a different combat mode from previous military aircraft.  The United States has always been ahead in the field of military science and technology, but that does not mean that Americans will not learn from others.  The Americans took the Arrow from the Germans, and the British developed catapults and L fighter planes, which the Americans also introduced.  Obtaining other people's whimsical ideas and then researching and expanding on them has always been the strength of Americans. Americans also believe that if they can buy maintainers from China, they can develop better things.

    "After careful evaluation by the Ministry of National Defense of my country, it is believed that the Q71 project is a very good project. It will not only improve the combat effectiveness of the American army, but will also be extremely beneficial to promoting military cooperation between China and the United States. The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps are ready to cooperate We invested US$200 million in contracting the Q7 transformation project, which we codenamed AlI code-name maintainer. There are still several issues that need to be discussed: First, Shenghua Group must work with two or more US defense contractors. Cooperate to produce this aircraft; secondly, we hope that the entire cooperation will include the transfer of relevant technologies; thirdly, if this contract involves a relatively large purchase quantity, we also hope that Shenghua Group can open branches and factories in the United States. "U.S. Rashid, an official from the Ministry of Defense, said to Qi Yiming seriously.

    Qi Yiming actually did not expect at the beginning that the Americans really wanted his aircraft, and they would also allocate funds to develop a project plan to develop two different models, the Navy version and the Marine Corps version.  At the same time, Qi Yiming couldn't help but feel excited. If the United States could really purchase this attack aircraft in large quantities, the benefits would be self-evident.  As for whether arming the United States will make the United States too strong, Qi Yiming couldn't help but laugh at himself after just thinking about it.  He can build hundreds of Defenders for the United States, and his own base can build tens of thousands of them. The violent soldier is the truth of a great man, and can promote the ultimate holy will of all disobedient forces.

    "Well, cooperating with multiple American contractors is not a problem. We will cooperate with Northrop and Grumman to produce modified aircraft. In addition, according to your requirements, avionics systems, weapon systems, etc.  We also need to use products from American companies, so this is not difficult to achieve. However, regarding the issue of technology transfer, I need to make a few points. If the Pentagon purchases less than 20 aircraft, we will not transfer the relevant technology. In addition, we will not transfer the technology.  Before production, 20 finished products must be assembled and manufactured by Shenghua (China) Group alone. Subsequent products can be assembled by other American companies according to the agreement. We are only responsible for the production of parts that cannot be produced in the United States, such as VTOL engines.  ¡±

    Rashid¡¯s eyelids twitched and he asked: ¡°Is the VTOL engine not in your country¡¯s permitted technology transfer list?¡±

    Qi Yiming pretended to be helpless and spread his hands: "Yes, I'm sorry, in order to develop this engine, our country has invested a lot of money, and it is also listed as one of our country's top technical secrets. In view of our good alliance with the United States,  , we can agree to export this kind of engine to the United States, but it is impossible to transfer the technology to the United States.¡±

    Rashid closed the document in his hand threateningly and said: "If you can't get the VTOL engine, what's the point of technology transfer? If you are so insincere, our negotiations may not be able to proceed."

    Qi Yiming responded: "Then the United States will agree to transfer to us the relevant technology of the Seawolf-class nuclear submarine? Will it transfer the stealth coating technology developed by your country to us? Will it transfer the Aegis on the Ticonderoga-class nuclear submarine to us?  Will the system be transferred to us?¡±

    Rashid was immediately speechless when asked by Qi Yiming, let alone technology transfer, if China wants to buy things like Bl17, Sea Wolf or Ticonderoga, the Americans will not pay attention to it.  In the same way, China regards VTOL engines as something similar to advanced equipment and technology in the United States. Since Americans cannot sell these things to China, China will not transfer technology to the United States.

    Rashid argued forcefully: "I don't think what you just said can be compared with what we are talking about now. How can an attack aircraft be of equal value to something like a cruiser or a nuclear submarine? Not long ago, our country agreed to transfer B14 production technology  It is given to your country. This is a decision made by our country based on our enthusiastic alliance relationship. We hope to receive equal treatment."

    Qi Yiming didn't agree with him. He laughed and said: "We have accepted your relevant technology about B14, but you forgot to mention a few facts. The subsequent improvement and research and development of B14 were participated by our country, without my experience. There is no new B14. Furthermore, our country has not used your B14 engine technology. The B14CN engine has always used my country's own-10, and the United States uses PI10. You asked for equal treatment, and now it is equal treatment. Wait, we didn¡¯t take your engine technology, and now you don¡¯t want to take our engine technology either.¡±

    The two sides had disputes and anxiety over this issue, and the negotiations could not continue. Qi Yiming simply terminated the negotiations.  In fact, he is not anxious at all. Although it is a pity not to make money, but?Can't appear more eager than Americans.

    Sure enough, in the afternoon when the negotiations broke down, Bierworth came to Qi Yiming's office in a hurry and asked: "Mr. Qi, is the transfer of engine technology really impossible?"

    Qi Yiming replied firmly: "Yes, we believe that VTOL engine technology is as valuable as the nuclear reactor of a nuclear submarine, not to mention that we have nuclear reactor technology, but the VTOL engine is completely an epoch-making new technology. Although China and the United States are close allies  relationship, but not enough to share all the secrets, what do you think?¡±

    Bierworth felt Qi Yiming's firmness and toughness. In fact, he also understood that if the United States had developed this kind of engine, it would never have been transferred to others so quickly.  Not to mention whether it is epoch-making or not, even if it is an ordinary new product, Americans will not consider selling it unless they keep it in their hands for ten years.  The power system itself has stricter confidentiality. Take the major American aero engines as an example. Whether it is PI10, 04, PI10, or PI19, even when it comes to the new generation of engines, the United States has not introduced these engine technologies.  Transferable to anyone.  (This is more absolute. The technology of the PI10 engine was transferred to Harima in Japan to make the B2. However, Japan does not have the processing capabilities for core components such as turbine discs, so they basically rely on imports from the United States, and Harima assembles them, so it is still not complete.  self-produced)

    "Well, I believe everyone has their own position, but the basis for cooperation has not changed. Let me see if there is anything that can be done to soften the attitude of those in the Pentagon." Bierworth said helplessly.  .

    Qi Yiming smiled and said: "President Billworth, thank you for your trust and understanding. Our cooperation should be based on equality and mutual trust, but the Pentagon official looked at us in a condescending manner.  , and believes that China needs to obey any of his instructions, which has given us a very bad impression. I believe that both of us can cooperate on the basis of friendship and equality."

    Bierworth nodded, and without much agreement with Qi Yiming, he immediately used his own connections to send a message to the truly powerful officials of the Ministry of Defense and members of Congress in the country, saying that it was Rasheed who sabotaged the negotiations, and that the Chinese were really  There is no intention to spread VTOL engine technology.

    Grumman has broken out of the trough after experiencing cooperation with Qi Yiming, and as a traditional carrier-based aircraft developer, Grumman is also relatively influential in the U.S. Navy.  Bierworth's lobbying directly led to the recall of the Ministry of Defense official Rashid to the country, and the negotiator was replaced by a more experienced official Rector.

    After the negotiations resumed, Rector, on behalf of the United States, did not completely give up pursuing the technology transfer of VTOL engines, but used a new strategy, "We understand that your country cherishes this technology. In order to express sincerity, our two sides may be able to sign a  A technology exchange agreement that achieves a result that satisfies both of us.¡±

    This kind of exchange is naturally easier for people to accept than simply asking for it, but Qi Yiming still insists on it. Regarding the existing technology of the United States, the United States will not give him what he wants, and basically what the United States can give him will be better.  Okay, so he didn't waste any time and still refused any proposal regarding the transfer of VTOL engine technology.

    "If the U.S. wants it, our country can produce it for your country, but please don't make any more proposals about technology transfer. Our position is firm and consistent. This is something that cannot be discussed."

    Rector had heard Bierworth say before that the Chinese did not want to transfer technology. Although the negotiation was not successful, he was not too upset and turned to other details of the project.

    Qi Yiming added: "There are not many problems in opening a North American branch and factory in the United States. However, I still hope that 20 QAll complete machines produced entirely by my country will be exported to the United States. Naturally, we will install the United States' own The friend-or-foe identification device and data link may be installed by the U.S. side after they arrive in the U.S. We do not accept the use of relevant U.S. equipment for the first 20 fighters. As for the addition and improvement of U.S. equipment, it can be done by the U.S. side after the first phase of our contract is completed. Do it yourself.¡±

    The reason for making such a request is that Qi Yiming knew that if the Americans asked them to use their radars and their wings, the profit for him from the entire aircraft would definitely be low, so he insisted on the technology transfer.  The production is entirely done in China.

    Lecter frowned and said: "It is difficult for us to control quality using Chinese equipment, and the quantity is really too large."

    Qi Yiming retorted: "At least 10% of the avionics systems used in your domestic military products are imported from our country, and Grumman and others know our country's design capabilities best. We can open the door to the United States."  After acceptance and evaluation, if you are not satisfied, we can still make improvements. There is no need to talk about the quantity. 20 aircraft are completely produced independently. This is part of our agreement to transfer the final assembly technology.¡±
