Chapter 418: All Guests
Andrei discovered that he really had a strong connection with Shen Fei. In his previous life, he worked and lived for Shen Fei and dedicated his youth and life to Shen Fei. In this era, although he had traveled through time and space to become a Soviet and grew up to be a general and military district commander, he still had an inseparable relationship with Shen Fei.
For example, now, on my second visit to China, the first stop is still Shen Fei!
Thinking about the last time he visited Shenfei, he brought Ekaterina with him, and he had an intimate relationship with Ekaterina on the plane. Andrei felt a little sad in his heart. He and Ekaterina had always been separated. This time when he returned to Moscow, due to time constraints, he only had intimate contact with Ekaterina for two or three nights.
At that time, Andrei regretted his decision to send Catherine to the Kremlin to be Andropov's personal doctor. He thought he was too selfless. Having his wife by his side every day was the life a man should have.
The Moscow Olympics is about to be held. Unlike in history, the Moscow Olympics has not been boycotted by Western countries because the Soviet Union did not send troops to Afghanistan. For the Soviet Union, hosting this Olympics successfully will help demonstrate the spirit of the entire Soviet nation. For the Soviet Union, it is a national event.
Therefore, Catherine did not accompany Andrei on this trip and stayed in Moscow to help. Andrei could only come to the East again with a large group of officials.
Shenyang Aircraft Corporation is a scene of bustling activity. The introduction of the MiG-23 project has brought new vitality to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation.
With the help of Soviet experts, Shenfei's production line was improved and could be used to produce fighters such as the MiG-23. Well, China called it the J-82 project, which could really fool foreign intelligence agencies. Andre found it funny when he thought of this number.
"General Andre, we at Shenfei are mastering the production technology of the J-82. The first J-82 fighter jet assembled by us using scattered parts will be able to leave the factory and fly in a few days." said General Zhang, commander of the Chinese Air Force, who came to receive the reception.
Like the Su-27 in history, the early-production MiG-23 was assembled from parts, and the proportion of domestic production would be gradually increased in the later stages. Thanks to the full assistance of the Soviet Union, the production of the MiG-23 was quite smooth.
"Well, that's right. Only if this fighter jet is equipped to your air force as soon as possible can it help you better maintain air superiority." Andre said, "Now, the Americans have actually violated their original promise and exported advanced fighter jets such as the F-16 to Taiwan. Their intentions are despicable! Your air force must have sufficiently powerful fighter jets!"
After China's policy completely turned to the Soviet Union, the United States was furious and exported 160 F-16J79 fighters to Taiwan! This most advanced American fighter was actually exported to Taiwan, which made it even more difficult for the mainland to accept. Therefore, the Chinese Air Force also accelerated the pace of replacing the MiG-23. The MiG-23 that was fully introduced from the Soviet Union in the early days was equipped in the air force base opposite Taiwan.
The Americans really made a bad move! They want to use the Taiwan issue to contain China, which can only make China have a better relationship with the Soviet Union! Historically, the August 17 Communiqué was not issued until 1982. Now the Americans have only verbally promised not to export weapons to Taiwan.
"Yes, our air force continues to improve its combat effectiveness." General Zhang said: "This batch of J-82 fighters came at the right time."
After Shen Fei finished his inspection, Andrei and his entourage flew to the capital of China. Although the two sides had conflicts in the past few years, the Soviet Union was the big brother after all, and it had left a deep impression in the hearts of the older generation of Chinese people.
Just as Andre's private plane landed at China Capital International Airport, another plane also landed on the airport runway shortly afterwards.
As the band played, the cabin door opened and a woman in her thirties, wearing a well-fitting suit and with a pretty face, slowly walked down from the plane.
"General Andre, what a pity that our plane is a little late. We had planned to arrive first and then pick you up at the airport." The woman said to Andre, stretched out her hand and shook hands with Andre.
"Shigenobu-kun, you don't have to be modest. It's the same for whoever picks up the other at the airport." Andre said, "I almost forgot. We are all guests, and the one next to us is the host."
After Andre got off the plane, he waited at the airport for the arrival of Shigenobu Fusako's private plane. At the airport, he was also greeted by personnel from the Chinese diplomatic department. After all, Shigenobu Fusako was the nominal prime minister of the island country, and his status was higher than Andre's. Now, communicating with Andre was like communicating with old friends, and he almost ignored his host.
At this time, China's foreign minister came forward and said, "Prime Minister Shigenobu, welcome to China."
This time, General Andrei, commander of the Soviet military district, and Fusako Shigenobu, Prime Minister of the island country, visited China at the same time, which was obviously unusual. You know, Fusako Shigenobu's achievements in the island country today are inseparable from the Soviet Union, or to be more precise, General Andrei in front of him. It was precisely because of Andrei's bold actions that the island country is what it is today.
Shigenobu Fusako's eyes left Andre. After not seeing him for a few years, Andre's charming temperament has become more restrained. Instead, there is an indescribable taste of a mature man. He is still decisive and resolute, and he is still the one who turned the world upside down! There is only one man like this in the world!
"It's a great honor." Shigenobu Fusako said to the Chinese Foreign Minister: "Minister Huang, thank you for coming to pick me up at the airport. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, please follow me." After shaking hands with the people behind them one by one, the group left the airport and got on the convoy waiting outside.
Hongqi sedan, the pride of China, when you hear the roar of the engine in front, you know that it is a classic product of the old generation of V8 engine. Although it looks good and drives well, the whole car is seriously out of date with the world.
"Minister Huang, your country's reform and opening up has brought infinite vitality, but your means of transportation are still very outdated." Sitting in the car, Andre said to Minister Huang beside him.
In order to avoid neglecting both parties, Minister Huang, Andre, and Fusako Shigenobu sat together in the extended Hongqi sedan, which was spacious enough anyway.
Looking at the streets outside, most of them were 28 bicycles. Fusako Shigenobu knew that the plan proposed by Andre must have a great possibility of being realized! This is a crucial step for the economy of the island country, because China has a huge population base!
