Chapter 1053: Not Interested in MiG-29

After returning from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Andrei was busy with the safety inspection of nuclear power plants across the country, especially the assessment of the professional knowledge of the responsible persons. All of these were handed over to the most trusted officials.

In later generations, some people have always criticized that Andropov came to power as a spy chief, so during Andropov's era, it was the secret police's world and they had a hand in everything. Now, Andrei has taken power and carried out a purge within the KGB, replacing them with the most trusted people, and letting them do everything again.

The reason is simple, choose someone you trust!

Sure enough, the investigation was not a big deal, and they did find problems. Because the Soviet Union was building large-scale nuclear power plants too quickly, many managers and engineers at nuclear power plants were transferred from thermal power plants, and some of them were not familiar with the business! Only the KGB's examination and testing of them could find the problems! They didn't dare to bribe the KGB!

Andre personally approved this group of people. Those who were unqualified were all dismissed! They were selected from the qualified young people below!

At the same time, a rectification movement was also launched in the Nuclear Power Plant Supervision Department. As expected, the main leaders of this department, Malik and Kopczynski, were not proficient in their work! Especially Kopczynski, who had only a vague understanding of the detailed operation of the nuclear reactor! Therefore, the leaders of these two departments were all cleared out!

After becoming leaders, their minds were not on technology, but on how to use connections and how to continue to climb up. Such people are not worthy of being supervisors in the Soviet nuclear power department! Select from qualified personnel below! As a result, in the open selection, Andrei's father, Vladimir, performed the best! In particular, his report on the abnormal situation of the RBMK reactor below 700 million watts attracted the attention of nuclear power experts. After deduction, that terrible situation is possible! It is necessary to standardize operations and not let such a situation happen!

At the same time, under Andre's instruction, detailed regulations were also drawn up. Every year, the technical department personnel must be evaluated, and every two years, the heads of all levels of departments must be evaluated! If they fail, they need to get out!

Andrei was busy for more than ten days on the safety of nuclear power plants. This was to solve a major hidden danger! Even if the Soviet Union's national strength has increased, a Chernobyl accident would make the Soviet Union lose a layer of skin!

After this period of busy work, Andre received a report from the diplomat who was responsible for receiving the Chinese delegation. At this time, the Chinese delegation had almost completed the inspection.

"We showed our MiG-29 fighter jets to the Chinese side, but they were not interested in our fighter jets," said the person in charge.

Andrei was not surprised by this. This was just a gesture by the Soviet Union. Whatever was sold to India, could be sold to China. Since China already had a complete MiG-23 production system, it would definitely be financially unaffordable for them with their relatively weak economy to introduce the MiG-29.

"Don't they have money?" Andre asked.

"No, they think that our MiG-29 has no obvious improvement over the MiG-23, and the overall combat capability of the two aircraft is not much different, so they think there is no need to introduce them again."

No wonder the person in charge was so depressed. China actually said that its MiG-29 was not much better than the MiG-23? This is simply too ironic!

However, Andrei became interested: "It seems that the Chinese have fully tapped the potential of the MiG-23."

The MiG-23 uses a variable-sweep wing, which brings about the most optimized aerodynamic performance in various conditions. Except that the wing box of the variable-sweep wing will increase in weight, there are no other disadvantages.

In particular, what was exported to China was not the ordinary version of the MiG-23, but the MiG-23K which used two RD33 turbofan engines and had an even better thrust-to-weight ratio!

In the hands of the Chinese, who are always good at exploring the potential of fighter jets, an ordinary MiG-21 was eventually modified into a Super Seven in China. And to what extent will the MiG-23K be modified?

Thinking of this, Andre really wanted to go to China to have a look. As a pilot, although Andre had never flown the MiG-23, he knew the modification potential of this aircraft! In particular, Andre has always insisted that the variable sweep wing is definitely not outdated!

"However, China attaches great importance to our aircraft carrier." The person in charge continued: "When we mentioned that we had sold the Kiev to India and were preparing to transform it into an offensive aircraft carrier, China also had great interest in our second ship, the Minsk, and hoped to receive this aircraft carrier at the same price as India."

Suddenly, Andre felt a chill. At the beginning, he said this because he felt that China did not have enough financial resources to buy an aircraft carrier. But now, China actually wants to buy it?

The Kiev can be sold to India, but the Minsk cannot be sold to China, because China is not as easy to fool as India! It is very likely that China does not need to modify it at all, and directly towed the warship back to Dalian for research!

In particular, China does not need to purchase carrier-based aircraft from the Soviet Union. The MiG-23 produced by China itself is a carrier-based aircraft!

There is no way to make any money from China, and it takes time for the Soviet Union to build an aircraft carrier. The Kiev can be sold because the new ship is about to be built, but it will take a long time to replace the second ship!

"We can agree to China first, but we need to wait until the new ship is built before we can sell the old ship." Andre said.

By then, China should see how India is being slaughtered, so it won't raise any demands, right? By then, if they insist on buying, they will definitely raise the price again, using the excuse of currency depreciation.

"Also, before leaving, the Chinese people extended an invitation to you. If you have time, you are expected to pay a friendly visit to China."

Now, Andropov has handed over all Soviet state affairs to Andrei. Although Andrei calls Andropov for instructions on many things, Andropov always lets Andrei make his own decisions.

Therefore, Andre is already the de facto ruler of this country, and as a ruler, his external stance must be realized through communication with the heads of state of various countries.

Therefore, the Soviet leader's state visit to a foreign country is also a major diplomatic event!

"Marshal Andre, I also suggest that you make a trip to China. Recently, the United States has stepped up its layout in China and tried to win over China." **** said to Andre on the side.
