Chapter 909 No Way, I Am Against Mr. Chang?

In fact, if possible, Snecma does not want to print China Aviation Development’s LOGO on the M88 engine display board.

Rafale is the pride of France, but the power it uses is mixed with Chinese blood.

Although it sounds great to do, it doesn't always sound good when told about it.

However, let’s talk about it and let’s talk about it.

You still have to recognize the contract signed in black and white -

No matter from which level, M88 is a model jointly developed by France and China.

If the relevant information about the latter's participation is really erased, Snecma will be responsible if any mistakes are made in publicity in the future...

Therefore, although they have reduced the area of ​​the two LOGOs as much as possible.

And it is set in the lower right corner where it is most easily blocked by the display frame.

Even, the background of the exhibition board was specially made into a blue color that is close to the logo of China Aerospace Power Group.

But it’s not hard to see for those with sharp eyes.

"Eh?"

Yang Quanzhi behind him also discovered this "bright spot" at this time:

"I said Lao Guo, can this... be considered an exhibit of the Aerospace Power Group?"

In fact, compared to Guo Ruiqing, whose main task is to collect intelligence information, Yang Quanzhi's purpose of coming to Paris this time is simpler.

Just promote the new model and see if we can find possible orders.

Therefore, he is actually more concerned about these issues than the former.

Guo Ruiqing touched his chin:

"Strictly speaking... they just said before that they would not bring physical exhibits from China..."

Hearing this sentence, Yang Quanzhi called him a good guy in his heart.

It turns out that the foreshadowing had been laid long ago, and I was just waiting here...

As middle and senior managers of the Aviation Industry Group, the two naturally knew about the cooperation between the 606 Institute and Snecma to improve the M88 engine.

Even know some of the details.

But I never thought that it would be carried out in such a straightforward form of "joint research and development".

You know, the aviation industry has also had de facto cooperation with Europeans in recent years.

For example, the most typical NH90/straight 12.

Nearly 40% of the research and development work on this model was completed by Bingfei Group. It can be said that the "quality" far exceeds all other projects.

But after all, everyone's name is "NATO Helicopter", so it's not easy to make it too blatant.

In order to avoid suspicion, the two parties still used the form of suppliers to each other to cover it up.

Therefore, only the national flags of France, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands have been painted on the NH90 exhibition board.

Correspondingly, China’s Z-12 is also “self-developed” on the surface.

Anyway, don't ask why they look alike.

Once the mind is in tune, that's it.

Of course, this time, the Aviation Industry Group did not bring the Zhi-12.

First, the range of a helicopter is too short compared to that of a fixed-wing helicopter, making it impossible to fly over from other places. Renting an An-124 is a huge expense.

Another one, the current straight 12A is supported by two TV3-117VMs that are not small in size. The performance is decent, but the shape of the big-headed son is really not very pleasing.

It would be awkward to compete with NH90.

Moreover, in China's traditional arms sales market, there is really not much demand for such high-end helicopters.

Fortunately, the Bingfei Group still has the AC139, a super cash cow that Sanchuu is ecstatic about, and is not in a hurry to open up new military markets.

But looking at the M88 engine in front of him, Yang Quanzhi still felt a little regretful:

"If we could have signed this kind of cooperation agreement with Eurocopter when we were building the Z-12... Tsk tsk."

Now NH90 is parked at a booth about 200 meters away from the two of them, and many colleagues from participating countries are already standing around it.

If only a five-star red flag could be added to it.

The effect should be quite explosive.

China's aviation industry is now at a stage where development is so fast that not only outsiders, but even our own people sometimes fail to keep up with the reality.

Therefore, both externally and internally, there is an urgent need to seize every opportunity to publicize.

Let’s establish the image of China’s products first.

However, his fantasy was quickly dispelled by Guo Ruiqing next to him:

"Well... the situation at that time was still different from now, so we can't generalize."

The latter was changing film for his camera and replied without raising his head:

"When we participated in the NH90 project, on the one hand, NATO seemed to be monolithic, without so many obvious internal flaws later. On the other hand, the image of our Chinese products was still completely negative. Others would definitely follow our lead in publicity. Cut it, otherwise it may be difficult to sell..."

Guo Ruiqing is about 10 years older than Yang Quanzhi, and has been promoted to middle management during the head office era. The latter was still an ordinary grassroots employee at the time, and only gradually became successful after the two companies separated.

Different experiences naturally lead to different perspectives on things.

"When you said that, I was a little impressed."

Yang Quanzhi took his eyes away from the M88 display board:

"It seems that there was a fraud scandal involving Japanese companies in Europe back then. It is said that it was because of the NH90 project that they pulled out the carrots and brought out the mud?"

"Indeed."

Guo Ruiqing has a relatively rich understanding of events in the early years:

"Those devil companies are very clever when it comes to counterfeiting. They even cut corners and cut materials. If you use it according to the normal margin, you won't find any problems for ten or eight years. If we hadn't happened to They have seized a very narrow opportunity on a part of NH90, I guess they can continue to hide it..."

"..."

Speaking of this matter, normal Chinese people, especially members of the aviation industry system, would feel proud.

Therefore, Guo Ruiqing also spent about ten minutes with great interest to talk about a series of wonderful operations that year.

"Of course, to put it bluntly, they still have their own problems."

Finally, Guo Ruiqing concluded:

"If there was no such bad thing as quality inspection fraud, then we would never have been able to find such a fatal loophole..."

After finishing speaking, he hung the camera around his neck again and prepared to take pictures of the details of the EF2000.

The modified self-use J-10A is somewhat similar to the Typhoon in its cross-sectional shape.

In particular, the idea of ​​mainly using the relatively flat belly space to carry a large amount of ammunition can be said to coincide completely.

In contrast, the Rafale prefers to carry a larger number of smaller ammunition in the underwing space.

Only the centerline pylon on the belly of the aircraft has been additionally reinforced to carry ASMPA-R missiles equipped with nuclear warheads as a theoretical air-based nuclear deterrent.

However, similar to the situation of the Chinese Air Force, the French Air Force actually has no nuclear-related positions, so this nuclear deterrent also only exists in theory.

Just when Guo Ruiqing raised the camera and was about to press the shutter, Yang Quanzhi, who was hurrying to catch up with him, was still stuck on the topic.

"So Lao Guo, according to what you just said, there happens to be a component on the NH90 that is designed according to the model's performance upper limit, so it was exposed that the Japanese had falsified the test report..."

Obviously, Yang Quanzhi had been thinking about this matter just now, so his reaction was half a beat slow:

"Doesn't that mean that this matter has been planned since I participated in the design of NH90? It would be too outrageous to say it is a coincidence..."

"Of course."

Guo Ruiqing almost lay on the ground, taking photos of the position of the EF2000 belly pylon, and replied.

"I go……"

Yang Quanzhi looked dumbfounded:

"Whose idea is this? It can be so long-term..."

"Wait a minute...you don't know?"

Guo Ruiqing stopped pressing the shutter and looked up at Yang Quanzhi in disbelief.

But he quickly responded:

"Oh yes... you should have been at the Institute of Special Technology at that time. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

This reaction made Yang Quanzhi a little confused:

"Uh...I don't know what I don't know..."

"No...I mean..."

For a moment, he felt that his language module might be burned.

"The entire NH90/Zhi12 project, as well as the series of things involved later, were all done by Mr. Chang back then."

Guo Ruiqing's deliberately lowered voice made Yang Quanzhi, who was still hemming and hawing about the organization's words, fall silent immediately.

After a while, the latter spoke again:

"Mr. Chang...you mean...that's...that Mr. Chang?"

He said and pointed to the M88 engine promotional sign next to him.

Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning was already obvious.

"if not?"

Guo Ruiqing got up from the ground and patted the dirt on himself:

"There is no second CEO Chang in our aviation industry system, right?"

"ah?"

Although there had been some speculation just now, Yang Quanzhi still felt a little scared after getting the actual result:

"I heard...the reason why we at Rongfei divided the J-10 into two versions, A and E, was also the suggestion left by Mr. Chang back then."

Yang Quanzhi is not from a technical background, and he was transferred to Rongfei only a short time ago, so he mainly hears and hears a lot of news.

Unexpectedly, Guo Ruiqing nodded without surprise:

"I know that."

"You know this as well?"

Yang Quanzhi felt a little embarrassed——

What I thought was a secret turned out to be something that everyone in the world knew about.

"certainly."

Guo Ruiqing continued to add another blow:

"Moreover, not only the J-10E, but also the J-7F and the J-9, which have been mainly exported in recent years, were all launched by Mr. Chang when he was still at the head office."

"..."

"?"

"!"

Yang Quanzhi opened his mouth several times in succession, but no sound came out.

He just stared at Guo Ruiqing and blinked.

His current feelings can be summed up as——

No, I'm going to fight Mr. Chang on the opposite side?

You know, before this trip, the leader had a special talk with him.

It is said that they hope that in recent years, the Aviation Industry Group will not be surpassed by the Aviation Power Group in terms of export volume.

He also said that this task is very stressful. Although the opponent does not have much pure export business yet, it must not be underestimated.

At that time, he felt that the leadership was a bit unfounded.

The result is now...

Are you telling me that the leading models currently used to earn foreign exchange through exports are all leftovers from the rival company’s senior executives?

It's so funny, no wonder the leader gave him a shot of prevention in advance...

Isn't this the same as learning the basic rules of Go and then going to play ten games with Nie Sheng?

"So... when the company split up, why didn't the group keep Mr. Chang?"

Yang Quanzhi asked in a bitter tone.

"Because..."

Guo Ruiqing also scratched his hair in distress:

"Because it was Mr. Chang's own opinion to separate the aircraft engine and set up a new group..."
