On the banks of this river stands Komsomolsk, Lao Maozi's most important industrial city in the Far East. The city is divided into two parts by the river. The west side is where the administrative, commercial and cultural centers, steel plants and shipyards are located, and the east side is where the
An industrial area dominated by oil refineries and aircraft factories. At the same time, it is surrounded by low mountains on three sides in the east, west and north, and there are lakes and swamps in the south. The scenery is very good.
In 1932, this was still an ordinary village of Permskoye. A large number of members of the Communist Youth League came here and built it into a city with their hard-working hands.
After the establishment of the Amur Steel Plant, it quickly developed into a large industrial center with heavy machinery manufacturing and shipbuilding industries. The oil mined on Sakhalin Island was refined here, and factories for wood processing, building materials, papermaking and other industries were established.
Just by listening to the name, you can tell how famous the Gagarin Aircraft Factory is. This factory was named after the first astronaut to fly into space. The code name for Lao Maozi was called Factory 126.
There is a long runway on the aircraft factory, and the special plane of the inspection team landed on this runway.
When I got off the plane, I was greeted by Alexei, the director of the aircraft manufacturing plant, Nikshev, the chief designer of the Su-27, Pugachev, the famous meritorious test pilot, and others. Designed by Sukhoi
Simonov, the chief designer of the bureau, led the team and stood in front of these people. He happened to be inspecting here. He heard that guests from the East were coming, so he happened to receive them here.
In addition to them, there were also several officers from the Far East Military Region. When Qin Tao got off the plane, he was stunned.
Among the crowd, he suddenly saw Nicholas' figure!
When their eyes met, Nicholas was also very curious. Isn't Qin Tao a traitor? Why did he get together with these people?
This time is just an inspection and will not involve specific negotiations, so the atmosphere is very friendly.
Everyone entered the aircraft factory and looked at the Huangpi Su-27 being produced inside.
There is no assembly line for aircraft production. It is a station-based production. In the large production workshop, there are countless installation stations and various high platforms. Workers push parts to the stations and install them one by one.
Although it is inefficient, it is still an internationally accepted method.
Everyone was very fascinated to see it.
Qin Tao slowly fell behind the crowd and stood together with Nicholas. When others were not paying attention, Nicholas asked in a low voice: "My friend, you haven't been here for a long time. I
I’m even starting to worry about you.”
After several business transactions, Nicholas made a lot of money, and he still expected Qin Tao to come to him to do business. Who would have thought that Qin Tao never showed up again.
"My friend, I'm really sorry. My newly recruited secretary was actually born into a military family. I was confused and made some mistakes. As a result, I can only stay with my secretary. Recently, I have been helping my future father-in-law.
,there is no time."
Zhao Ling was also among the people visiting and inspecting, so there was no way to hide this matter, so Qin Tao simply told Nikola Ming.
As a man, this kind of thing is understandable. Nicholas showed a knowing smile: "Qin, you are so lucky to be able to participate in an inspection group of this level."
"Forget it, my old friend." Qin Tao said: "I prefer to live the kind of life before. By the way, can you help me? Let me win some face with my future father-in-law."
"Of course, I'll cover it." Nicholas was very generous.
After a whole day of inspecting the aircraft manufacturing plant and watching the Su-27 flight show the next morning, most of the delegation took a special plane to return home, with only the navy personnel staying.
"Everyone, since you are Qin's friends, you are my friends." Nicholas looked at a few people in the navy and said, "I will take you to inspect more of our factories. Now, let's go to Gongqingcheng for shipbuilding first.
Factory, I will take you to inspect the most advanced submarine manufacturing factory of our Soviet Navy!"
Wu Shengli and others were excited for a while.
Qin Tao bartered several times and got back many good things. Of course, the navy knew that Qin Tao had hooked up with Nikolai, but they didn't know what the relationship between the two parties was.
Now, Nicholas said this, which is very helpful to Qin Tao. They are good friends.
Komsomolsk not only manufactures aircraft, but also ships. It began building submarines in the late 1930s. During the Cold War, it manufactured a variety of advanced nuclear submarines, including Y-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines and D-I-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines.
In the late 1970s, the construction of Victor-III class nuclear attack submarines and Akula-class nuclear attack submarines began. (All are NATO code names, Lao Maozi here are all numerical numbers, for example, the Akula class, their number is Type 971. Tragedy
The Kursk that sank in the Barents Sea belongs to class 949.)
After hearing what Nikolai said, Qin Tao was slightly humble: "My friend, there are a lot of secrets in your submarine manufacturing factory, right? Is it convenient for us to inspect like this?"
"Of course, no problem." Nicholas patted his chest: "Our Type 877 submarine has begun to be exported to the outside world. With your level, you can have access to it."
Only then did Qin Tao realize that Nikolai still had a plan. It was of course impossible for our side to visit nuclear submarines, but conventional submarines were different. This Type 877 submarine was the latest in Lao Maozi's equipment sequence.
The famous conventional submarine, nicknamed by Lao Maozi himself, is Flounder, and the West is more accustomed to calling it the Kilo class.
That’s right, it’s the famous ocean black hole and Kilo-class submarine!
This submarine also has a great relationship with the motherland. Among the Kilo-class submarines later imported by the motherland, one was built at the Komsomolsk Shipyard. Therefore, although Qin Tao felt that Nikolai’s proposal
A little regretful, but still happy to accept it.
"In that case, let's go see the Soviet Union's most advanced diesel-electric submarine."
Wu Shengli nodded.
The inspection team left some people to continue the visit, and Lao Maozi would of course continue to receive them. However, since Nicholas took the initiative to take the remaining members of the inspection team to visit, Lao Maozi's superiors felt free and bold to take these people to visit.
The man was handed over to Nicholas.
Nicholas led everyone to the shipyard.
It is already June, the weather here is very refreshing, and the Komsomolsk Shipyard is also a bustling scene.
Who would have thought that in a year and a half, the huge empire would collapse, and these shipyards would become motherless children?
