Chapter 159 Stalin's Rapid Fire Cannon
"Are you thinking about it..."
Seeing that Korolev refused without thinking, the head of the General Logistics Department couldn't help but frowned. At this time, the most important people from both sides had moved from the banquet hall to the reception room not far away.
At this time, although Korolev's big round face stimulated by alcohol was flushed, his mind was not drunk, but was unusually sober. Before the head of the General Logistics Department finished speaking, he shook his head firmly, and then put the hand in his hand.
He threw the list on the coffee table beside him and said without leaving any room: "This is not an exchange of equal value at all, it is simply fraud!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the joyful atmosphere at the dinner party disappeared in an instant, and Korolev, who had a serious face, finally showed the iron-bloodedness and decisiveness that a battlefield veteran should have. In fact, Korolev is not to blame.
Being so angry is because the conditions offered by Bai Yi are too big.
It lists nearly ten industrial categories such as industrial equipment drawings, metallurgical preparation technology, pressure vessel manufacturing technology, electronic optical instrument production lines, high-precision machine tools, etc., covering almost all aspects of machinery manufacturing, metallurgical materials, chemical preparation, electronic instruments, optical manufacturing, etc.
Military industry.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a complete industrial chain of military production, and what China has paid for is only two weapons and equipment demonstrated on the shooting range during the day. Such behavior is a complete blank slate in Korolev's view.
A wolf is no different from an unscrupulous liar.
But what makes Korolev strange is that his angry accusation did not elicit a rebuttal from the head of the General Logistics Department and Bai Yi and others. Instead, they both looked at him and burst out laughing, which made Korolev a little confused.
I couldn't figure it out, I couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"
"General Korolev, you are right. If it were you, or if it were me, if the core technology of two small weapons were used to replace these things, I would be so angry that I would curse!"
The head of the General Logistics Department smiled and shook his head, but Korolev became even more confused after hearing these words. He pointed at the list he threw on the coffee table and said roughly: "But you did do this.
Got it!"
"Yes, that's what we did!" The head of the General Logistics Department did not shy away from it, but readily admitted it. However, he immediately changed the topic and continued: "But the problem is that what we want is not the new equipment and drawings being used by the Soviet Union.
Those abandoned old equipment and old drawings used by the defeated countries!"
Listening to the first half of the words of the head of the General Logistics Department, Korolev raised his eyebrows. Just when he was about to continue to get angry, the second half of the words of the head of the General Logistics Department poured into his ears. This made Korolev first panic.
He was startled, and then shook his big head in disbelief. After making sure that he was not drunk and had not heard wrong, he asked noncommittally: "Relevant technology of the defeated country?"
The head of the General Logistics Department nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is the relevant technology of the defeated country. After all, the Soviet Union has always been the world leader in the field of military technology. There are many categories that are world leaders, and those who were defeated during World War II
Some of China's technologies simply could not meet the requirements of the Soviet Union's big brother, so a lot of equipment and drawings were shelved.
It's just that these technologies were redundant to the big brother of the Soviet Union, but they were real good things to our newly established New China. Even if they were only at the level of technology during World War II, it would be better than what we have today.
What's more, we are still fighting to the death with the United Nations in Korea, and we also need a certain industrial base to support the frontline war, otherwise the communist cause in the entire Far East may suffer a heavy blow.
So I hope that the big brother of the Soviet Union can consider our opinions and transfer a batch of related technologies from the defeated countries to us. As for the drawings, craftsmanship and other related technologies of the two weapons and equipment displayed during the day, we will cooperate with the Soviet Union without reservation.
Big Brother Share!”
"this……"
Hearing what the head of the General Logistics Department said, Korolev couldn't help but hesitate. After the Soviet Union won World War II, it did loot a large number of industrial machinery, equipment blueprints, technical data and related technical personnel from the defeated Germany. Some of the Soviet military industry
Technology has a great promotion effect.
For example, V1 and V2 missiles made the Soviets the leader in missile weapons in the post-war world. German submarine technology also greatly promoted the technological development of Soviet submarines, thus laying the foundation for the Soviet Union's future dominance of the oceans.
Of course, there are also many things that are "worthless" in the eyes of Soviet experts. For example, the gasoline engines and all-electric drive systems on German tanks are just showpieces with no practical significance in the eyes of Soviet experts; another example is Germany.
The 150mm howitzer is far inferior to the 152mm cannon that the Soviet Union equipped in large quantities.
It is precisely because of this that a lot of German technology was thrown aside by the Soviets. In the words of the head of the General Logistics Department, it was called "idle". But Korolev knew what lay idle about these unused technologies. It was almost like
It's like throwing away garbage, piling it up randomly and letting it die on its own.
Therefore, it is not unacceptable for the Soviet Union to transfer these technologies and equipment that are regarded as rubbish in the Soviet Union to China. After all, after five years after the war, the Soviet industry, especially the military industry, has developed rapidly, and many aspects of technology have long been far behind.
More than Germany during World War II.
Therefore, the export of low-end technical equipment does not pose any fundamental obstacle to the Soviet Union. What's more, the head of the General Logistics Department is right. China is the pillar of the Red Revolution in Asia. If it can be supported, it will be able to export the revolution to the Soviet Union.
It also has great benefits in fighting for global hegemony.
Korolev was able to achieve his current position because he was a man with a clear mind. With just a slight turn of his head, he thought clearly about the pros and cons, but he did not agree immediately because he still felt that it was not enough.
Even though what you pay may be worthless garbage.
But since it is something to be used for exchange, even if it is garbage, its value must be squeezed to the maximum. So after thinking for a moment, Korolev slowly raised his eyes and still shook his head: "My dear
Chinese comrades, you also know that I am only the general counsel of the advisory group, and there are many things that I cannot decide, so..."
"So, my dear General, please take a look at this!"
Before Korolev could finish speaking, Bai Yi interrupted him with a smile, and at some point there was a roll of drawings in his hand. As Bo Yi's voice gradually fell, the roll of drawings also slowly fell in his hand.
Slowly unfolding it, Korolev took a look, and his eyes suddenly widened. He blinked for a long time with his big mouth open, and then he stammered and asked: "This...this...what is this?"
