"Old Lin, just have fun. Even if one aircraft costs 100 million US dollars, you will still make a profit." Wu Shengli said with a smile: "This kind of aircraft is hard to find even with a lantern! Before our stealth bomber was successfully developed,

, this kind of aircraft is our strategic-level killer weapon!"

This sentence is not wrong. The largest one in China is the H-6, with a maximum take-off weight of 60 to 70 tons, a range of 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers, and a subsonic speed. In front of the Tu-160, it has no sense of presence at all.

The latter has a maximum takeoff weight of 275 tons, a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, and can fly at a speed of Mach 2. This is a true strategic bomber.

Even the data of Tu-22M is only half of that of Tu-160.

You have to buy a Su-27 that costs 50 million US dollars apiece, and a Tu-160 that costs 100 million US dollars. It is definitely a great deal!

"Our Navy has no idea?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli: "Then sell it to the Air Force."

"That's right, sell it to the Air Force. Even our Navy can't steal it from them."

"Mr. Lin, our Mingzhou Group has another request."

"Okay, you kid is taking this opportunity to kill us. Tell me, what's your request? As long as it's not too excessive, we can agree. By the way, it can't be our money, 200 million."

It's enough to make our bodies hurt, but no more."

"Our domestic J-32 is about to be mass-produced. It just so happens that our Mingzhou Group plans to establish a special engine production plant. Therefore, we also need to discuss with the Air Force to introduce turbofan engines into our production plant.

Five production technologies will be used to simultaneously produce the 15-inch turbofan engine. Otherwise, it is estimated that the production capacity of this engine will not be able to meet our needs."

At the beginning, the R79 technology was introduced with the participation of the Air Force. Mingzhou Group did not have that much strength or strong technology, so it was left to 624 and other research institutes to develop it. Now, the stealth aircraft is ready for mass production.

The production of engines must also keep up, so we simply took advantage of this opportunity to produce imported projects and domestic projects together!

"Of course there is no problem with this." Mr. Lin nodded immediately: "Now, although our turbofan 15 has been developed, none of the engine factories have the strength to mass-produce it, and they have to spend huge sums of money to improve the production line.

If your Mingzhou Group can produce enough, it will be a time for rapid development and improvement for our domestic aviation industry!"

Hearing Mr. Lin's words, Qin Tao was a little puzzled: "But our Mingzhou Group is a private enterprise!"

"What's wrong with private enterprises? We need to let private enterprises join in and compete together. Only in this way can other enterprises feel the pressure and work harder!" Mr. Lin said: "I think we can just buy technology directly. In this way, 624 Institute of Technology

When the research unit can get a large amount of money, it can be invested in the improvement of turbofan 15. It doesn’t need to be much, how about just 200 million?”

"Mr. Lin, when did you learn to do business?" Qin Tao felt helpless.

"I didn't learn this from you."

Even if this matter is settled, Zhao Ling will be responsible for the specific operations of the aero-engine factory. She is also very happy. She is going to do a bigger business and must do a good job!

"Have you figured out the plan for Jin Chan to escape from his shell?" Wu Shengli asked.

"Well, these three bombers must have flown back directly. From Ermao, they first flew to the western airport in our country, and then a fire broke out there."

"Fire?"

"Yes, all three planes will be burned into wreckage. It's terrible to see." Qin Tao said: "As for the mastermind behind it, we just need to strongly condemn it. Lao Maozi and the Americans will definitely bite each other."

"Well, this plan is the most suitable. However, in the next period of time, this bomber unit will train at night, just like the previous Tu-22M bomber unit."

"It's still early for training. We need to modify them first. After these aircraft come back, the avionics and attack equipment have been removed. We have to replace them with our own equipment." Qin Tao said: "At the same time, we officially announced our stealth capabilities to the outside world.

Bomber program."

"Yes, since Taozi has made arrangements, we don't need to worry about it!" Mr. Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Next, let's just wait."

"Just wait, I have to run. Next, I have to go to Priluki to do some work, and I have to take the An-225 with me. The air force has to reimburse us for the cost of the plane's round trip.

"

"An-225?" Everyone was stunned: "Mr. Qin, there is no need to mobilize so many troops, right?"

"No need?" Qin Tao sneered: "One Tu-160 costs 54 tons of fuel, and three of them are 160 tons. I have to bring a few tank trucks to pump out the oil in the tank.

Transfer it to the Tu-160, tell me, besides the An-225, what other aircraft can transport so many things?"

"They don't even have fuel there?"

"Even if there is no fuel, there must be a tanker truck, right?"

"I still have to bring enough things." Qin Tao said: "But we can't just catch him blind when the time comes. You won't go with me."

"Yes, President Qin is right, we must support him!"

Originally I was going to coordinate the die forging press, but I didn’t expect that so many things would happen!

It was already March 1998. Qin Tao took his group's special plane and arrived at Priluki. At the base, the commander of the bomber unit stood at the door of the special plane to greet Qin Tao and his party.

"President Qin, welcome to Priluki. We have received instructions to deliver three White Swans to you." Osipov said: "Our superiors also instructed us to dismantle bombing and navigation equipment..."

"Your Excellency Osipov, do you have any pilots here who want to go on a business trip?" Qin Tao interrupted Osipov: "Help us fly the plane from here to our country, and everyone will get two thousand dollars.

Travel allowance."

One flight, two thousand dollars!

As soon as these words came out, the entire base was in an uproar.

Since the collapse of the Red Empire, there have been fewer and fewer flying missions in their base. Since 1994, they have been almost grounded and cannot fly once a year! Now, just being able to fly once is enough for them

I’m so excited, and there’s also a $2,000 subsidy!

"Don't worry, I will definitely select pilots with good mouths for you." Osipov said excitedly.

"Okay, I believe you. Here is the deposit, one thousand for each person. You will transfer it to the pilot, and the rest will be given after the mission is completed." Qin Tao said, took a large envelope from Xu Zhengyang, and handed it to

Osipov.

Don't look at the picture - the 160 is huge, but has advanced avionics equipment. It only requires four people to fly it. Three aircraft are twelve people, and the deposit is twelve thousand US dollars. However, there is a lot of money in it, to say the least.

Twenty thousand!

Osipov looked at the contents inside, a little surprised.

"Mr. Osipov, you have worked hard too." Qin Tao said: "The rest is a little bit of our Mingzhou Group's thoughts."

Osipov was immediately overjoyed. Mr. Qin of the Mingzhou Group was really generous! This matter was originally arranged by the superiors. They were only responsible for cooperating. Mr. Qin had given so many benefits, so of course they had to cooperate properly.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. Next, let's discuss the handover issue." Osipov said: "We use the takeoff line as the handover point. When we drag the aircraft onto the takeoff line, you will be responsible. Before, we were responsible.

,how?"

"Of course." Qin Tao said, "I will listen to you."

"Mr. Qin, regarding the status of the aircraft, please rest assured. Although our aircraft has not flown for several years, it is well maintained." Osipov continued to say enthusiastically.

"We're not worried, it's your pilot who's flying anyway." Qin Tao said a cold joke.

Osipov's face was a little embarrassed, he couldn't answer this.

"By the way, Mr. Qin, our airport is out of gas." Osipov said.

In the impression of the outside world, Ermao is an energy-deficient country that mainly relies on the energy provided by Da Mao. Therefore, when they continued to owe Da Mao's energy bills, they were forced to use Tu-160, Tu-95 and other bombers.

I paid off the debt and sold it at a very low price.

In fact, there is a lot of energy in Ermao. Their oil reserves are 4.9 billion barrels, ranking 7th in the world. Their natural gas reserves exceed 1 trillion cubic meters. This reserve is second only to Damao and Mauritius in Europe.

Norway.

However, for a country that only knows how to rest on its laurels, it will not start to exploit. Although they have rich energy reserves, they have not exploited them. The domestic crude oil production is only 74,000 barrels per day, 70% of which

All energy needs to be imported.

Because they do not produce it themselves, it is inconvenient to use oil domestically. Even their army has no crude oil to use!

The bombers had no crude oil, so they had to lie down.

He had a good card in his hand, but it was smashed in the end! Qin Tao also sighed in his heart, but a tattered ermao is a good ermao, otherwise how could he get a big guy like Tu-160?

"Don't worry about this. Our plane carries more than a hundred tons of fuel, which can be pumped into the bomber that needs to take off." Qin Tao said.

"Oh, that's great!" Osipov looked over and saw a tanker truck rumbled out of the An-225's warehouse: "Mr. Qin, you don't need to bring a tanker truck here.

, we have oil tankers here, we just don’t have drivers.”

Qin Tao was afraid that they would also sell the oil tanker. It turned out that there was still one, but it could no longer be used.

"It's better to use ours. If your tank truck breaks down, we don't have the spare parts to repair it," Qin Tao said.

Several people walked while talking and finally entered the hangar.

The huge Tu-160 was parked there quietly.

Its nose is slender, somewhat like the Concorde. There is a narrow glass cockpit on the nose. The driving experience is similar to that of a passenger aircraft. However, from the cockpit back, you can see the side structure, which extends backward.

, forming a wing box, which perfectly combines the variable sweep wing with the wing body.

The four engines are hoisted in the two engine nacelles below, extending back to the tail. The cross-shaped tail retracts upward to form a perfect structure. The entire aircraft really looks like a white swan with wings spread.

This is the most advanced strategic bomber in the Red Empire era!

Its layout is very similar to that of the B-1B, but it is a bit larger and its take-off weight is also much larger. At this time, standing in front of this aircraft, Qin Tao was thinking about it.

He never thought about this idea at first, because he knew it would be impossible to get such a thing, but Ermao took the initiative to send it over! Until the last moment of the plane taking off, he couldn't believe it was true, it was like a dream

identical.

"Isn't this a beautiful plane?" Osipov asked.
