Chapter 322 How to Win Over

"China's main fleet is still the J-6 and J-7 from the 1960s. Their fighters are seriously outdated and they are in urgent need of advanced technology to update their fleet. We can export our MiG-23, which made a big splash in the air battle in the island country, to them. Our fighters can defeat the most advanced F-15 fighters in the United States! Moreover, our prices are much lower than those of the Americans. At the same time, we can also authorize China to produce them on their territory according to our production license. China will definitely be very interested." Andre said: "China's equipment is originally our Soviet system. It is most convenient for them to continue to import our fighters. Moreover, our exports are not politically colored!"

The export of fighter jets by the Western world has strong political intentions, which is why China hesitated. Otherwise, why would it leak this news? It is just to test the reaction of the Soviet Union!

That wise old man had anticipated that the Soviet Union would make the same response to ease the relationship between the two sides? In this way, China could play both sides between the United States and the Soviet Union and gain their own greatest interests!

It is very simple to win them over. Exporting fighter jets and production lines at the same time, China will never refuse! Andre can even think that the conditions offered by the United States to China may be the great arsenal plan in history!

Such a plan is so generous that China cannot refuse it. If it agrees, China's equipment will instantly become one of the most advanced in the world.

Unfortunately, the Chinese side still refused. The important reason is still!

"Also, China's ground weapons and equipment are also very backward. If we can export our low-end T-72 tanks to China, China will be very happy. In addition, we will demarcate the border between the two sides and negotiate to resolve disputes. I believe that with these means, China will be able to get closer to us and smash the US conspiracy!" said Andre.

What does China lack the most? One is fighter planes, and the other is tanks! With these military deals, plus the politically negotiated borders, these problems are solved, and China will definitely agree!

"However, as far as I know, China's current economic situation is very bad, and they may not be able to pay the funds needed to export these weapons," said the KGB chairman.

Exporting these weapons and equipment, plus the production line, will cost a huge amount of money. Can the Chinese afford it? The Soviets will not pay for these exports!

"The Chinese foreign exchange reserves may not be able to pay for the equipment we export, but the Chinese also have what we need." Andre said: "Our country has not yet eradicated the problem of food shortage, and various daily necessities are not abundant. It can be said that over the years, we have attached importance to the development of heavy industry, and light industry has not made much progress. On the contrary, China's light industry is quite developed. We can even use barter to make them pay us the corresponding funds, which will just alleviate the shortage of daily necessities in our country. This is also beneficial to our country's reform."

Andrei's analysis was very logical, and even Andropov kept nodding his head.

"If we export our MiG-23 to China, will it make China's air force too powerful?" Ustinov still had some doubts.

"Yes, if we use this method to make peace with China, once China becomes strong, will it become a threat to us?" Gromyko also had doubts.

"From a military perspective, our MiG-23 is not an advanced model, but a transitional model. Our Mikoyan Design Bureau and Sukhoi Design Bureau both have plans to develop new models. Therefore, even if we export MiG-23 to China, it is still not as advanced as our own fighters. As for tanks, we will definitely have some reservations when exporting them, just like we export them to other countries." Andre said. The monkey version of Soviet weapons is also a major feature, and the T-72 was originally a low-end product among Soviet tanks.

"As for whether China's strength is a threat to us, we can see from history that China is a gentle nation. This country has never actively invaded others. Moreover, if China makes more territorial demands on us and conflicts with us, it will only be China that suffers. China's capital is only a few hundred kilometers away from our border, while our capital is thousands of kilometers away from China!" Andre said: "I think the leaders of China will never be as short-sighted as the islanders. We, the Soviet Union and China, will both benefit if we unite and both lose if we separate. Moreover, we certainly will not judge based solely on human nature. While we are trying to win over China, aren't we also trying to win over India?"

(Please don’t complain about this part. Some people will say, isn’t the protagonist Chinese? How can he use Indians to deal with China? Some people will say, isn’t the protagonist already a Soviet? How can he still lick China’s ass? How despicable… In short, Huadong Zhixiong just wants to stand on the identity of the protagonist to exaggerate these plots.)

India! Due to the various complicated relationships in history, India and China can be said to be mortal enemies. While the Soviet Union is trying to win over China, it will also win over India. In this way, it can use the rise of India to balance China. This is an international strategic relationship that is completely in line with the interests of the Soviet Union!

"Moreover, after we become friendly with China, we can withdraw at least one million troops from our Far East! These troops can be deployed to Eastern Europe to deal with the counterattack of the Western world, or they can be deployed to Central Asia. Now, the situations in Iran and Afghanistan are not peaceful, and we must make our preparations." Andre continued.

Everyone's eyes were on Andre. Andre realized that he seemed to have said too much, and he spread his hands embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Central Asia is not under my jurisdiction. What I just said is an immature idea."

"Well, Andrei, you have considered it very carefully." Andropov said with satisfaction. Obviously, if there was still controversy before, Andropov has made up his mind now.

"Andrei, are you willing to go to China?" Andropov looked at Andrei and said his well-considered decision: "Our ice-breaking trip with China is of great significance."
