Chapter 927 Behind the scenes and in front of the stage
Just as Chang Haonan promised Mr. Zhang, it took him less than three hours to sort out the report.
According to what Lao Wu found out last year, among the 19 Tu-160s, it is clear that they can still fly, but in fact only 10 are left.
Of course, these 10 can fly.
Weapon systems and the like, there is no guarantee what the situation will be.
After all, Ermao has long since lost the Kh55 cruise missile and cannot conduct combat tests at all.
As for the remaining 9 frames, dismantle them and put the good parts together, and you can probably barely build 2-3 frames.
This is something made during the Soviet period. The degree of standardization and quality level are acceptable, but you still dare to play like this.
If the aircraft was built in the years after it was dismantled, there is no telling whether it can still fly after parts are replaced like this.
Excluding the 8 that the Russians have already occupied in advance.
Therefore, under the most optimistic scenario, there are still 5 aircraft left for China.
Of course, based on Lao Wu’s experience, listening to the people on Ermao’s side has to be somewhat discounted, so it’s good to be able to get 4 of them safely.
As for the delayed supply of Motor Sich and the relevant evidence and written documents of the deposit owed by Ermao officials, they are directly stored in the archives of the Aerospace Power Group.
It can be said that after several years of planning by Chang Haonan, everything is ready in terms of hardware conditions.
What is really lacking is the opportunity to enter the game and the determination of the superiors.
Now, the opportunity is before us.
Chang Haonan’s report is intended to help his superiors make up their minds.
......
After submitting the report, Chang Haonan finally had time to catch up on his sleep in the room.
When he woke up again, it was already the afternoon of September 12th.
After finishing washing as quickly as possible, he turned on the TV in the room.
There is no dedicated news channel these days, so if he wants to watch news, he can only switch to CCTV.
As expected, the situation is similar to the previous life.
After a delay of about ten hours, the domestic public media has also begun to report on yesterday's attack on a large scale.
Then he looked at the 4th and 7th sets.
The content is basically the same.
Except for Mr. Bush’s speech last night, Eastern Time, this morning, Beijing time, there was a set of formulaic rhetoric condemning indiscriminate attacks and sending greetings to the victims.
Even after changing the channel, it can be seamlessly connected to the previous program.
Obviously, this was issued by the higher-ups.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the response to news programs is generally relatively slow, and the broadcast format is somewhat monotonous.
Although later programs that invite several guests to the studio for live discussions have appeared, they are not yet popular.
Of course, slowness also has its advantages.
For events of major impact like yesterday, broadcasting must be disciplined to avoid irreparable adverse effects at critical moments.
And the slow release of news also gives the editorial department more time to cross-verify the news itself.
Just like in the following years, the speed of news transmission is getting faster and faster, but all media will do anything to grab the first release, and some even do not verify the authenticity of the news...
It's hard to say it's completely an improvement.
Unfortunately, due to the special nature of the Jingxi Hotel, it has not yet been connected to the Internet, so Chang Haonan was unable to see the reaction of the melon-eating people to this matter.
It is foreseeable that the overall tendency should not be much different.
However, considering that after the head-on confrontation in early 1996, the conflicts between the two sides have all occurred on a non-public level, especially without the "two major hatreds" at the turn of the century, so it has not yet been It will appear as obvious as in the previous life.
Chang Haonan still remembers that when he and a few friends heard the news for the first time in his previous life, it was a complete surprise.
In this way, he stared at the TV screen and sat in trance for a long time.
Until a doorbell woke him up from his thoughts.
Chang Haonan quickly tidied up the shirt he was wearing, and then opened the door.
As expected, standing outside the door were Fu Youquan and Ding Gaoheng.
"Mr. Fu, Director Ding."
Chang Haonan said, taking off his suit jacket from the hanger by the door, and then followed the two of them out of the room while getting dressed.
"This morning, the chief personally presided over an enlarged meeting."
Fu Youquan walked half a step in front of Chang Haonan and introduced to him what happened in the past few hours:< br>
"Your previous guess was correct. When the White House communicated with us, they said that they had identified the mastermind of this attack and confirmed that he was in Aiwuhan."
< br>"The other party very... frankly stated that if Aiwuhan refuses to hand over the relevant persons responsible, then they will consider launching a military operation for the purpose of counter-terrorism. We hope that we can understand and support it."
< br>
Chang Haonan was able to get a position in that seminar yesterday because Fu Youquan specifically named him. However, the expanded meeting in the morning could not reach the former level no matter how much it was expanded.
So, I can only hear two pieces of news.
Fortunately, Fu Youquan was born in the military and has served as a staff officer for a long time. He has received special training in relaying key contents, so he does not have to worry about information distortion in the process.
“Have they made a public statement over there?”
Chang Haonan recalled that there seemed to be no relevant content mentioned in the TV news just now.
“Not yet.”
Fu Youquan shook his head:
“This is what the other party’s leader informed us over the phone.”
“But , in order to calm public anger, I estimate that the press conference will be held soon, and the content will be nothing more than this.”
"Then our response..."
Chang Haonan asked tentatively.
“The phone call was made early this morning, so we did not make a clear statement immediately, but during the meeting just now, several leaders agreed in principle to your suggestion.”
Fu Youquan’s face showed relief:
“Of course, in order to implement your idea, you still need to confirm some details, such as allowing US military aircraft, even transport planes, to land at our airport. , whether it will cause public opinion risks, and how to provide technical protection for models such as C17 that we have never been exposed to are also issues that need to be solved. ”
Although they talk about difficulties, everyone in the know understands that when a plan starts to consider these minutiae issues, it means that it is about to be implemented.
So, this is definitely good news.
After a slight pause, Fu Youquan continued:
"In addition, it is similar to your estimate. The CSTO has also unanimously approved the permission of non-combat units of the US military. Regarding the decision to use the airspace and airports in Central Asia, it is expected that the chief will have a second phone call with the Kremlin this afternoon, and will discuss with them in detail the issues related to the denuclearization of the two countries..."
" …”
Obviously, the meeting in the morning was quite informative.
Even if Fu Youquan only focused on the key points, he couldn't finish it until he walked out of the gate of Jingxi Hotel and came to the parking lot.
Standing next to the car, Fu Youquan raised his hand and looked at his watch:
"In the afternoon, I will have a staff meeting with the Jincheng Military Region, so I won't continue to see you off."
So the three of them said goodbye.
A few minutes later, the minibus started moving steadily.
But this time, only Chang Haonan and Ding Gaoheng were sitting on it.
"Director Ding, after yesterday's meeting, Mr. Zhang suddenly asked me to stay, so I didn't have time to talk to you about some things..."
According to normal circumstances, Chang Haonan's suggestion should be First go through Ding Gaoheng, and then report up level by level.
Just like the time before last year.
In fact, this time, Chang Haonan originally planned to follow this process -
According to his previous estimates, it would take three to five days from the time the incident occurred to when he found an opportunity to join the decision-making process. time.
It was enough for him to submit a formal written material to Ding Gaoheng.
As a result, Fu Youquan and General Zhang made a seamless surprise attack. After the incident, they took him directly from the conference room of the Science and Technology Commission to the conference room of the Jingxi Hotel.
There was no chance to explain the situation to Ding Gaoheng.
I had no choice but to obey the authority in a hurry.
However, now that the dust has settled, Chang Haonan, as a subordinate of the other party, should explain his feelings and reasons.
But before he could finish his words, Ding Gaoheng raised his hand in the air, indicating that he did not need to continue:
"The old man has already told me what happened after yesterday's meeting. . ”
“You know, I may be transferred to other positions in a short time. ”
"So, even if you are not invited to the Jingxi Hotel this time, but hand over the report to me as usual, I should directly connect you with Lao Fu, and then I will submit it myself..."< br>
Ding Gaoheng said this and did not continue.
But Chang Haonan still heard the meaning of the other party's words——
As his role becomes larger and larger, and the information diffusion rate explodes, it has become difficult to continue. Cover your identity like you used to.
In addition, Ding Gaoheng himself will leave the Science and Technology Commission system in at most one and a half years.
No matter which one of the three current deputy directors the new leader is, he does not hold a military position.
Even the Science and Technology Commission itself is gradually downplaying its militarized nature.
In this way, the channel for communication between superiors and the military system will soon be closed.
So, for Chang Haonan.
It’s time to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
