Chapter 279 Cleaning up the door

Snapped! Tumansky slammed the photo Qin Tao handed over to the table. He was really angry.

At first, when he couldn't do anything anymore, he handed over the design bureau to Fedotov. However, he never thought that Fedotov would betray the design bureau! He has frequent contact with Americans just to benefit himself!

For an old man like Tumansky, the meaning of the existence of the Red Empire is to confront the West. Now, even if the Cold War is over and the confrontation is gone, he will tolerate having to sit and eat with his former opponents. However, it is absolutely unacceptable to sell one's secrets to opponents. It is even more unacceptable if some people secretly sell secrets to the West for their own benefit.

 Tumansky felt angry.

"Americans always like to use sugar-coated bullets to bribe and win over certain people. Fedotov must have received a lot of benefits. It is because of the existence of people like him that the country has become what it is now." Qin Tao continued.

"Yes, that's it!" Tumansky said: "Although I am old, I can still eliminate the scum of several design bureaus. Qin, thank you. By the way, how do you know so much? ?”

“Because we want to purchase the R-79 engine, including all technical data, production processes, etc.” Qin Tao considered his words: “Just like what we did back then.”

If there is no suitable reason, it is easy for Tumansky to think that this is retaliation from a business competitor, and he must rise to a spiritual level.

 Lao Maozi and the Americans are not from the same place. They were once rivals. They faced off for decades. Then, they were deceived into giving up their martial arts skills. Now, they have destroyed their homes and come to rob them of their belongings!

Our side is different. We were friends before, and we have done deals like this before. Now, we are just repeating what we have done in the past. Let our friendship last forever!

After Qin Tao said this, it was almost done. He looked at Tumansky: "Tomorrow, we will officially contact the people from the design bureau. Don't worry about this matter. After all, you are old. …”

“As I get older, I have to take care of this matter!” Tumansky said loudly, “Huh, do you really think I have no abilities?”

the next day.

 “Welcome friends from afar.” Fedotov greeted Qin Tao and others with a smile on his face.

“You are all elites in the Eastern aviation engine industry. Welcome to visit our design bureau.”

"We heard that the Yak-141 project has been officially cancelled, which means that the R-79 engine specially prepared for the Yak-141 will no longer be installed." Mr. Jiang said: "We are very interested in your company." We are very interested in Fang’s engine and hope to conduct detailed negotiations to introduce the technology of this engine back.”

After hearing Mr. Jiang's words, Fedotov immediately shook his head: "I think you have some misunderstanding. Our R-79 engine has not yet been considered for sale to foreign countries. After all, this is the most advanced fighter jet in our country. engine."

"The most advanced fighter engine?" Qin Tao smiled: "Shouldn't it be the AL-41F from Rulika-Saturn? This engine is the engine prepared for your fourth-generation aircraft. What, you guys The R-79 engine is actually an alternative?"

 “How do you know?” Fedotov was stunned.

In terms of fourth-generation aircraft, confidentiality requirements are still very high. In the Soviet era, if Qin Tao said this, someone from the KGB would immediately take him away for investigation.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, the project lost its source of funding, but an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. The Mikoyan Design Bureau still insists on building the MiG 1.44. Now it is estimated that it is raising money everywhere to build a prototype. Therefore, the news Leakage is possible.

However, even so, the information coming out of Qin Tao's mouth still shocked Fedotov.

 These people here are very professional!

 Their design bureau has been declining over the years, and it is left to provide engines for the equally marginalized Yakovlev Design Bureau. The performance of their R-79 engine sounds very powerful, but it is incomparable with the Rurica-Saturn. They are already manufacturing the AL-41F engine with a thrust-to-weight ratio of 11 as the power system for fourth-generation fighter jets. .

The engine over there is the most promising. The engine here has lost its installation target, and the future is not optimistic at all.

 Now, people from the East want to purchase their technology, they should be happy, but Fedotov's attitude made other people present also very curious.

"If you ask this, it means it's true." Qin Tao said: "Since there is no installation target and it is not a national key project, why are you unwilling to export this engine technology to us? Is there anything you can't say? ?”

"Of course not." Fedotov said: "We welcome you to visit and inspect, but it is impossible to purchase our technology!"

“Mr. Fedotov, can you tell us why? Do you keep the R-79 engine and want to lay golden eggs?”

The people present wanted to laugh. After all, Qin Tao's description was so funny, but they couldn't laugh. The atmosphere in the conference room became weird.

　　咣!

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

An energetic old man walked in, followed by two unknown middle-aged men.

 “Mr. Tumansky?”

"teacher!"

 “Chief Commander!”

Various names were called out, and Fedotov rushed to greet them.

"Teacher, why are you here? You are so old. Don't go out and walk around. If anything happens, just call me." Fedotov was very respectful. In front of Tumansky, he was just a student. .

“Humph.” Tumansky glanced at Fedotov: “I’m not old yet!”

Qin Tao felt happy, the drama of cleaning up the family would soon be staged! They people, just sit here and watch the show.

 No, of course you can’t sit down.

 Everyone stood up and looked at Tumansky. This was a master of engines. Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu who were present were also students. Of course, we must stand up and greet this old man respectfully.

Tumansky sat down on Fedotov's chair with a serious face, and the two people he brought stood behind him.

 Sitting next to Tumansky, Fedotov was still wondering, what was going on?

 In the past, he was a popular man under Tumansky. Otherwise, how could he be corrected after Tumansky left? He must be capable and know how to deal with things. Even if Tumansky retired, he would visit him during holidays.

How can the teacher be dissatisfied with himself?

 Fedotov did not understand.

After Tumansky sat down, he spoke to Qin Tao and others: "Friends from the East, do you have any requests?"

"Great senior Tumansky, I am very happy to see you. We are here this time just to introduce the full set of technology of the R-79 engine, including processing technology, materials and equipment, etc. We have to package everything for introduction. Just like when we introduced the MiG-21 engine."

Tumansky nodded: "So that's it. That engine has lost its installation target. It is useless for us to keep it. The current situation of the design bureau and the alliance factory is not optimistic. If we can obtain a large amount of funds by selling technology If so, it will also be beneficial to our design bureau, Fedotov, what do you think?"

Fedotov was murmuring in his heart, today he was entertaining Eastern guests and Tumansky was here. There must be something wrong with this. Maybe it was an Easterner who tipped off the news.

His heart was full of resentment, but the teacher was beside him and had already expressed his attitude, and it was not convenient for him to refuse.

what to do?

Fedotov's face turned red and white for a full minute before he nodded: "It's okay if you want the technology of the R-79 engine, but the vector nozzle technology cannot be sold."

"Why?"

“Because there are a lot of our secrets here, and we don’t want this secret to be known to other countries.” Fedotov said through gritted teeth.

Snapped!

Tumansky slapped the table. At such an old age, he still slapped the table so loudly, which made Qin Tao feel a little emotional. He is getting stronger with age!

"Fedotov, are you really trying to prevent the secret from being known to other countries?" Tumansky's face was extremely gloomy: "Or is there something else hidden?"

 Fedotov’s expression changed drastically. Could it be that the teacher already knew?

 impossible, impossible!

"No."

“Then tell me, what’s going on with these?” Tumansky said, placing a few photos on the table.

When he saw those photos, Fedotov's body began to tremble, but he still said sternly: "This is just an ordinary American friend. Since the collapse of the Red Empire, many of our design bureau personnel have had close contact with the West. I have friends A few American friends, why not?”

“Yes, making friends does not violate the law, but if you accept large sums of money from others and then betray the secrets of the design bureau, you will be shot.”

"I didn't, I didn't betray any secrets." Fedotov argued vehemently. He looked at the Easterners opposite, trying to figure out what he was talking about. He pointed at Qin Tao and others and cursed: "You **** guys. , it’s you who instigated my mentor to cause trouble, isn’t it? You guys who eat shit!”

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Since you have done it, you must have the courage to face reality." Qin Tao glanced at Fedotov, neither affirming nor denying.

“Teacher, please believe that I have done nothing.” Fedotov said.

"Nothing has been done? Then tell me, how did you get your Mercedes-Benz luxury car? How did you get the balance of US$500,000 in your account?"

Fedotov thumped and knelt on the ground: "Teacher, I don't have it, I don't have it..."

"You should talk to the people from the Security Bureau about these things!" Tumansky glanced at the people behind him: "Grushko, I'm sorry to bother you. If he really betrayed our national secrets and enriched himself, Then absolutely don’t tolerate it!”

Although there is no conclusive evidence, the source of those huge fortunes cannot be explained, so Fedotov is highly suspicious.

However, behavior like Fedotov’s is too common in today’s Da Mao. Which design bureau director has ever had a clean butt? However, the problem is that no one reports it!

In particular, it was Tumansky who made the report. He contacted a leader of the Security Bureau who was an acquaintance. It just so happened that in the face of the current complex problems in the country and the anger of the people, the above needed to use some means to prove it. They are serious about fighting corruption.

So, Fedotov hit the muzzle of the gun and became the chicken that killed the chicken to show the monkey.

However, watching Fedotov being dragged away, the eyes of other people in the design bureau in the conference room became complicated.

 Hurrah!

At this moment, Tumansky suddenly picked up the small bag he had brought, opened it, and dumped all the contents on the table.

 When they saw what was on the table clearly, the expressions of these people changed.

 Those are medals one after another! These medals represent a person's glorious past. Even Tumansky has not received so many medals. Only the founder of their design bureau, Chief Engineer Mikulin, has such an honor!

"This one is the medal awarded when the 1,200-horsepower high-power AM-35A engine was successfully developed and General Mikulin was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor for the first time." Tumansky picked up a piece and introduced it. .

“This one is the first Medal of Lenin that General Mikulin received. At that time, he designed our first jet engine.”

 …

As the second chief engineer of the design bureau, Tumansky is fully aware of the origin of these honors, because this is not only the honor of Mikulin, but also the honor of their design bureau!

 Now, he is talking slowly, as if he is talking about their history.

 No one interrupted him, everyone was listening quietly.

 Finally, after finishing the last piece, Tumansky looked at everyone: "Do you know how I got these medals?"

 Everyone shook their heads.

"After General Mikulin left, these medals fell into the hands of little Mikulin." Tumansky said: "Little Mikulin's son Ivan was seriously ill and needed a sum of money, so he only Being able to sell these medals, these guests from the East met Xiao Mikulin, bought all these medals, treated Ivan, and then gave all these medals to me."

If deduced carefully, this kind of behavior can be regarded as a disguised bribery. However, Tumansky said it openly here, and no one dared to question it.

"Now, I take out these medals just to return them to the guests from the East. I am a person who can leave at any time, so it is useless to ask for these medals. After I leave, I may be sold to my unsatisfactory descendants. Drop it." Tumansky said: "Qin, please take these medals back."

"These medals represent the honor of Commander Mikulin. I absolutely cannot ask for them." Qin Tao shook his head quickly: "If you don't want to keep it, how about leaving it in the design bureau? Leave the information here. It can be collected in the room or a small exhibition hall, so that all new personnel can receive an ideological education. No matter how society changes, they must be like the former Chief Engineer Mikulin, for the aviation industry and for the motherland. , contribute your youth and even your life!”

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Tumansky felt excited. Yes, it would be great if these medals could stay here.

“Over the years, I have received a lot of honors, and I am willing to contribute my medals and keep them in the design bureau so that future people can see them and let them know what the meaning of their lives is!”

　　Even if the dust has settled like this.

For Qin Tao, the $30,000 was wasted. However, the $30,000 had an unexpected effect. After Tumansky’s emotion, the people opposite looked at Qin Tao and the others. Everything has changed.

"The West must bear full responsibility for our country to become what it is now. Although we can no longer go back, we must keep our eyes open and see clearly who is our enemy. Other units in society , I can’t control the factory, but here we must be clear that we can never do business with Americans!” Tumansky continued.

“Yes, I have been watching a program broadcast by the East recently. The person in it made a very reasonable analysis. The West is the culprit for the decline of our country!”

“That’s right, I’ve also watched this show. I never thought about it before, but now that I think about it, it’s really scary!”

Qin Tao sighed in his heart, Zhang Zhong has gained foreign fans! I will definitely be a competent bureau seat from now on.

As for myself, it’s better to keep a low profile.

"Yakimov, you should be the deputy chief designer of our design bureau, right? During this period, you should first assume the task of chief engineer." Tumansky looked at a middle-aged engineer standing aside.

Yakimov, who was named, was very excited. He didn't expect that he would get such a good opportunity. Of course, he also knew what Tumansky meant.

"Our design bureau currently does not receive any funding from the government. If we want to continue to study our projects, we must raise funds ourselves." Yakimov said: "Guests from the East want to purchase our products We can provide the full set of R-79 engine production technology, including equipment, processes, materials and other information. We can conduct detailed negotiations now."

"Okay, then you can talk here. I am old and need to go back and rest." Tumansky said.

 When he first came in, he was still not satisfied with his old age, but now, he really feels exhausted.

 Tumansky left the meeting room, and those present discussed it enthusiastically.

“Our R-79 engine is a two-stage axial flow engine with a bypass ratio of 1…During the design stage, we also considered using a rectangular nozzle, but the technical difficulty was too great and we gave up.”

 Rectangular nozzle?

 After Qin Tao wrote this thing down, he always felt that he could use this to make an article!

Tumansky did not leave, but came to the chief designer's room. The place where he once worked has now been searched from top to bottom.

“We found some copies of the information on the vector nozzle.” Grushko said to Tumansky: “According to the confidentiality regulations, these information should not be kept in the General Division.”

Tumansky nodded: "The evidence is conclusive. Americans do not covet our engine technology because their own engine technology is already very powerful, especially in terms of reliability and lifespan, which far exceeds ours. However, they are not interested in our three engines." The bearing-rotating vector nozzle is very interesting, and now they have bribed Fedotov, which is really naive, and only want to get our most advanced technology for only half a million."

 Tumansky had mixed emotions.

 That evening.

“Mr. Qin, our current progress is very smooth, but the Tumansky Design Bureau cannot make the final decision. The technology introduction plan we have formed still needs to be submitted to the superior department for approval. Will there be any problems in this?”

"If nothing is arranged, there will definitely be problems. Those officials may delay our purchase project for two or three years. Therefore, we still need a fund for activities." Qin Tao said: "We can't bear it. Children cannot trap wolves. Since the superiors have decided to purchase, they cannot be afraid of spending money."

 “Do you still need activity funds?”

"Yes, at least one million U.S. dollars." Qin Tao said: "With the size of our Mingzhou Shipbuilding Group, we will definitely not look down on your small amount of funds, so don't worry, every penny will be spent wisely. Yes, absolutely worth it.”

"All right."

 “By the way, what shall we do next?”

"Of course, write a news article and disclose this matter. The head of the Tumansky Design Bureau accepted bribes from Americans and leaked state secrets." Qin Tao said, "This news must be known to the outside world. OK."

“Isn’t it difficult for this kind of news report to be published?”

 “If it’s someone else, it’s difficult, but for me, it’s not difficult.”

Qin Tao has many identities, for example, he is a reporter for the Free Press!

 As long as it is not particularly targeted and does not expose the Western world like Zhang Zhong, just reporting on this matter is still fine.

 After I got back, I wrote the report and made a phone call. Then I was pleasantly surprised.

 In a bar near the hotel, sitting in the booth where Xiaomi Kulin had been fooled, Qin Tao looked at the girl opposite.

 “Vitalia, long time no see, are you okay?”

“Well, very good, Qin, you said you want to publish a manuscript, let me see it?”

Vitalia reached out, took Qin Tao's manuscript, and read it again: "The person who came into contact with Fedotov is your competitor?"

 “Of course not, I am just a messenger of justice.”

Vitalia smiled: "Qin, you are always so humorous. How is Zhao?"

she? I have been too busy recently. Even when I passed by Huating, I only stopped for a short time. I really had very little time with my wife.

 Hongqi-16 project, what progress has been made in its development?

Just one question made Qin Tao homesick.

Vitalia smiled: "I really envy Zhao, there is a person like you who is as dedicated as you are."

At this moment, the bar owner came over and said to Qin Tao with a smile: "There is a phone call for you."

 Physics are actually coming here?

Qin Tao walked over, picked up the phone, and when he heard what was said clearly, his expression changed suddenly.
