Chapter 432: So careless?

Yanjing, Xijiao Airport, an Il-76 transport plane slowly landed on the runway.

Belfshka came out of the cabin and saw Cai Yaobin who came to pick him up. He walked over quickly and gave him a big hug: "Long time no see, my old friend."

Cai Yaobin smiled helplessly and said, "If I remember correctly, I just sent you back three days ago..."

Apart from his strong Northeastern accent, Belfshka spoke Chinese quite well, so there was no need for a translator for communication between the two sides.

"Haha, don't you have a saying that goes 'one day without seeing you feels like three years' time?' So we haven't seen each other for nine years."

Cai Yaobin: "..."

After a brief greeting, Belfshka greeted the other airport reception staff one by one, and then got on the same military vehicle with Cai Yaobin.
As soon as he got in the car, he couldn't help but say, "Director Cai, you are really being too mean this time! You have built a new generation of fighter jets, but you didn't even say a word!"

After hearing this, Cai Yaobin's brows slightly frowned to an extent that was imperceptible to others.

Although there are now a lot of rumors about China's sixth-generation stealth fighter, in fact, these are all speculations without evidence, and the Chinese government has never admitted it. Now Belfshka has come all the way here to say this, it is obviously impossible that it is because of these groundless news.

He definitely has very reliable information!
At present, it seems that only China and Old M have this kind of reliable key intelligence. Even Old M's younger brothers who participated in the military exercise may not have it.

So Cai Yaobin calmly asked back: "What new generation fighter?"

"It's already this late, Director Cai, please stop hiding things." Belfshka grinned, "We know everything about Liu Chief."

"Liu Chief?" Cai Yaobin continued to act silly, "What happened to Liu Chief?"

Belfshka also knew that Cai Yaobin was not actually denying Liu Qiu's story at this time, but was asking how he knew it, so he simply confronted him and asked, "Do you know where Olsen is now?"

Olson?
Cai Yaobin narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed the whole story.

It is no wonder that the Olsen mentioned by Belfshka is Aitf Olsen, the director of the Old M Intelligence Agency.

So when the Americans came to Yanjing for negotiations, they also sent Olson to the Damao family to share the key intelligence and data about Chief Liu with them?

But Cai Yaobin thought about it and realized that this was actually normal...

If it were me, when I found that the enemy was suddenly so strong that I had almost no chance of winning and that fighting would mean death, the first thing I would do would be to temporarily avoid the enemy.

Although he appears to be submissive on the surface, he will never give in easily in secret. Instead, he will try to reverse the situation through other means.
For example, sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, accumulating strength, and waiting for an opportunity to act, or dividing the enemy and winning over friendly forces...

So when Olsen went to Damao's house, he must have continued to wave his threats.

Anyway, they are both wearing the same pants. Old M is not afraid of "scaring" Old Mao, but instead clings to China's thigh even tighter.

But if you can scare them into feeling a little fearful and suspicious, that would be considered a positive benefit.

This made Cai Yaobin sigh secretly, reminding himself not to slack off because of temporary success. The principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace will never go out of date.

"Well... that sixth-generation aircraft is codenamed Xunlong."

Seeing that Belfshka had said so much, Cai Yaobin no longer tried to hide anything.

“But this project is still in the experimental stage…”

"I don't care what stage you're in. My mission this time is to buy at least 30 planes back." Belfshka shook his head. "I've already signed the military order. If I can't buy the fighter planes, I can forget about going back. Otherwise, I'll be shot as soon as I get off the plane! Considering our friendship over the years, you have to help me this time no matter what! Just tell me the conditions and the price!"

Cai Yaobin: "..."

Wow, he wants thirty planes right away?
Are you going to buy a tractor?
Besides, given Damao's family's current financial situation, even if the leader agrees to sell, it is still a big question whether they can afford it.

Cai Yaobin resisted the urge to complain in person, and practiced Tai Chi with Belfshka in the car for a long time. The general meaning was that he would try his best to apply to his superiors, but there was no guarantee of the result. Even though Belfshka kept coaxing and trying to refuse to leave unless the deal was sold to him, Cai Yaobin did not give in.

The decision to sell such an advanced weapon as the Xunlong was definitely not one he could make. Even if Cai Yaobin spoke well of Belfshka for the sake of their friendship, it would be useless, so he didn't even think about the possibility of this matter.

Anyway, when the time comes, just pass the blame to the leader...

No, it was the decision of the leader in the first place, so we can't call it passing the buck, right?
"Thirty?!"

When Chief Shen heard this number from Cai Yaobin, he burst out laughing on the spot.

"No!" said a staff officer nearby, somewhat displeased, "Do you really think we are a wholesale market for cabbages?"

"I agree. Let's not talk about whether such an advanced fighter can be sold. Just the initial production capacity alone makes it impossible to sell. Now we only have two, let alone thirty, we can't even sell one-thirtieth of it!"

"..."

The leaders' reactions were almost exactly what Cai Yaobin had guessed. After a moment, Cai Yaobin asked the silent Chief Shen, "What should I do when I go back?"

"Ah."

The so-called arrangement is naturally not a direct reply, which would give people a feeling that it has not been "carefully considered" or "fiercely debated".

So the best way is to arrange someone to negotiate with Belfshka for a while and create the illusion that you are helping him.
Then he will refuse and negotiate again, and when Russia realizes there is really no hope, he will naturally call Belfshka back.

Cai Yaobin was about to leave the meeting room with his head down when he suddenly found a pair of feet blocking his way, so he immediately raised his head.

After seeing the appearance of the person, he immediately smiled and greeted, "Team Leader Tang? What brings you here?"

"Of course it's the wind from the north." Tang Yicheng from the National Security Bureau said with a smile, "I heard that Director Cai was in charge of receiving General Belfshka's visit this time?"

"Well, what's the problem?"

"No problem, I just want to understand the situation." Tang Yicheng said, looking at the corridor and said, "Shall we talk somewhere else?"

So under the leadership of Tang Yichong, Cai Yaobin quickly came to the parking lot and got into a police car.

When the driver and the clerk on the passenger seat saw them getting on the bus, they got off the bus and stood by the bus to watch. Cai Yaobin was not surprised by this.
The National Security Bureau's work must be all confidential, so it's normal to be mysterious. However, Cai Yaobin was very curious about what Belfshka's visit had to do with them. Although the mission of the National Security Bureau and the military is to maintain national security, arms sales are normally decided by the military, and the National Security Bureau rarely interferes.

"I know Director Cai is quite busy, so I'll get straight to the point... I just took over a mission from the Space Administration a few days ago. This mission has something to do with Russia, so I wanted to ask Director Cai what the purpose of Belfshka's visit this time is?"

"He is from the logistics department of Da Mao. Of course he is here to purchase equipment."

"What equipment?"

"Well...they've already rejected this purchase, so it doesn't matter what they purchase."

"Is it a Swift Dragon?"

Cai Yaobin was not sure whether Tang Yichong, at his level, had access to information on the level of Xunlong, so his answer was somewhat ambiguous. Unexpectedly, Tang Yichong not only did not mind, but instead hit the nail on the head.

"how do you know?"

"I guessed." Facing Cai Yaobin's suspicious eyes, Tang Yicheng explained, "Really, even if I had ten times the courage and ability, I couldn't eavesdrop on your conversation, right?"

"I do believe that... you should just speak frankly."

"Well, it's like this. Academician Kang hopes to obtain the relevant technology of the Buran space shuttle as a research basis. The Space Agency attaches great importance to this, but they are definitely not willing to exchange such important technology easily, and it is even more impossible to reach a deal through ordinary cooperation, so the task was eventually transferred to our side..."

"What our leaders mean is that if Russia wants to buy our advanced equipment, can we consider making appropriate exchanges under the premise of ensuring that the technology is not leaked?"

Kang Chi wants the technology of the Blizzard?
You should have told me earlier!
Cai Yaobin immediately understood the whole story.

In fact, if Kang Chi wanted to be efficient, he could just talk to the military or the National Security Bureau directly. After all, the Space Agency might not know about a lot of highly confidential intelligence and cooperation, but the military and the National Security Bureau definitely know about it.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the leaders take Kang Chi’s requests seriously. Even if they go around in circles for a few times, not much time is wasted.

After a moment of silence, Cai Yaobin nodded and said, "I will go back and report to Chief Shen now, but I can't guarantee that it will be feasible."

"It's okay. I'll wait for your news, but it's better to be quick and try not to delay Academician Kang's research and development progress. If it really doesn't work, we can think of other ways."

"understood."

Cai Yaobin got out of the car after he finished speaking.

Before reporting to Chief Shen, he made a special phone call to Pangu Base and communicated directly with Kang Chi himself. Then he went to Chief Shen to explain the situation. Later that night, he ran to the State Guesthouse where Belfshka was staying and handed him a freshly prepared document: "300 billion RMB per aircraft, a maximum of five aircraft will be sold, and one aircraft will be delivered each year. There are also more than additional conditions."

Belfshka, who was holding the document, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Cai Yaobin with a little disbelief.

This……

So careless?

For a moment, he even suspected that Cai Yaobin and Old M were working together to cheat them...

Otherwise, it stands to reason that such advanced equipment, whether or not there is any intention to sell it, must be rejected several times at the beginning, and then the offer must be made many times. If it is really sold, more bargaining chips can be obtained.

But who could have thought that China agreed to his request the very same day he made it?
It's so abnormal!
