Chapter 1299 Obtaining An 124, and subsequent stories
After a fortress has been breached once, it is easier to break it again.During the negotiation process on An-124, the progress was relatively smooth.General Vaniechka didn't last long, and soon fell apart under Jiang Chen's money offensive.Of course, Jiang Chen also paid a relatively high price for this.

Just one An-124 aircraft is several times more expensive than the Il-76 they bought before.In the end, the two parties reached an agreement on a single price of 3000 to 124 million US dollars.But what annoyed Jiang Chen was that General Vanecka only agreed to sell one An-[-] to Jiang Chen and the others.No matter how Jiang Chen and the others try to fight, even raise the price, General Vanecka is unwilling.

But Jiang Chen is not such a person who is willing to give up easily, so after his constant dealings.In the words of General Vaniechka, it was just entanglement. In the end, General Vaniechka agreed to sell another one to Jiang Chen and the others, making a total of two.The combined cost of the two planes is also much higher, a total of 7000 million US dollars.In addition, in order to make the two planes have more time to use, Jiang Chen and the others need to buy some parts from there.

Of course, in addition to purchasing from General Vanichka, Jiang Chen also contacted the relevant manufacturers of An-124 to purchase the required parts from them.It all took more than two months. Anyway, Jiang Chen and the others finally spent nearly 2000 million US dollars to get back nearly [-] wagons from these manufacturers and related design bureaus and research institutes.

This includes the An 124 engine, and there are nearly 20 of them.There are also some other parts, such as aircraft landing gear, tires, avionics instruments and so on.What also made Jiang Chen more happy was that Fatty had dug back twenty or thirty experts in related fields from this troubled place.There are even the deputy chief engineer who participated in the design, development and manufacture of An-124, the first batch of test pilots who drove its movement test flight, and the pilots and crew who flew An-124, etc.

Of course, the most important thing is that the fat man actually got the relevant information attachment of the design blueprint of An 124.Although there are some omissions in this appendix due to poor preservation, it still maintains 90.00% of the data, which is relatively complete.After the aircraft design and development experiment and finalization, these original original design drawings and related materials will be redrawn and several copies will be drawn, and then saved separately.The purpose of doing this is to facilitate the production of various factories, and to ensure the safety of these materials and prevent loss.

And this set of materials is one of the backups drawn and sorted out at the beginning, and was later preserved in an archive of the former Soviet Union Organization for preservation.However, in the process of great changes, this place was naturally seized or closed.At that time, the person in charge of the archives, in order to prevent some of the confidential files of the Su*gong organization from being exposed or falling into the hands of others, set fire to the seized people before they arrived.

The fire destroyed some confidential materials, but because this kind of archive itself has a fireproof design, some materials survived.And this An 124 design attachment is one of them.Although it is inevitable that some parts have been damaged, most of them have been preserved.

Because of the fire here, most of the confidential information was burned.So when the people who came to carry out the seizure obtained the part of the materials they were interested in, they were sealed here and then abandoned.The follow-up work that was to be carried out was temporarily shelved because of the turbulent environment of these new countries after the great changes, and other things.

As for Fatty, after learning that Jiang Chen wanted him to pay attention to this aspect, he conducted relevant investigations.And it was the deputy chief engineer he hired to participate in the research and development of An 124 that provided Fatty with relevant clues.When the fat man learned that there were relevant backups kept in this archive, he tried it out, bought the manager here, and went in to have a look.Unexpectedly, they were still found.And also found, there are other related equipment design backup and related technical information.

After giving an objective tip to the administrator here, the archives suffered another fire that night.Because of the aging of the circuit, a fire broke out in the warehouse or the area where the relevant technical materials were kept.The fire burned some of what was preserved here to ashes, leaving nothing behind.Also on that day, two stuffy tank wagons full of various goods were anchored at the back of a train, and then headed east.

For only two An-124 transport planes, Jiang Chen was actually unwilling.Because Jiang Chen really knows the importance of this transport plane, whether it is military, economic, social, or even scientific research and development, it will have a very big role in promoting it.So after that, he has been looking for the purchase plan of An 124. .

But there was no result until 6000 or [-].Wu, that is, Ermao really can't get rid of it, so Jiang Chen and the others reached an agreement with Wu, and planned to buy three planes from Wu.At this time, the price of buying them will be relatively high, basically one can reach [-] to [-] million.However, during the transaction, under pressure from the US and the West, only one plane flew to China in the end.

As for the Il-76, Jiang Chen also bought some from these countries.But these purchased transport planes did not enter Jiangchen's logistics company or air cargo transportation company.Instead, they directly entered the Air Force for equipment service. To put it bluntly, Jiang Chen and the others are just an agency company on the surface.In general, under Jiang Chen's intervention in this life, the number of Il-76 transport aircraft obtained is much more than before.The equipment and service of these aircraft have greatly improved the strategic transportation and delivery capabilities of the Air Force.Also stimulated by these aircraft, we have also accelerated our research and development work on our own large transport aircraft.And the domestically produced large transport aircraft that we later called "Fat Girl" was also available a few years earlier than before.

Let's talk about General Vaniechka. After the deal with Jiang Chen and the others was completed, he quickly retreated bravely and chose to retire.After retiring, he did not choose to go abroad as Jiang Chen and the others imagined.Instead, he led his wife and children back to his original hometown of Baier, and lived there peacefully.But this peaceful life didn't last for many years, probably at the beginning of the new century, the deal between him and Jiang Chen was leaked out.And then he fell into the vortex of public opinion, and because of this incident, he was accused by Russia.

Finally, the day before Christmas in the West, he chose to commit suicide by swallowing a gun in the garage of his home.When his relatives heard the gunshots and rushed over, they found him wearing the original Soviet army uniform and a medal symbolizing honor, lying in a pool of blood.In the loss he left to his relatives, there is a sentence that reads:

"I have never betrayed my country, even though it is gone, I will always be loyal to her. Please bury mine beside my comrades who have been waiting for me for a long time!"
