Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 877 Fighting for the initiative, pressing hard

In the end, Vincent broke the calm and said to Jiang Chen: "Jiang, I have to say that you have thoroughly studied our company and our fighter jets. I believe this will help our communication and understanding, and promote our cooperation. Cooperation is moving forward. But if you know this well, you should also know that this fighter is a complex project. Whose parts are used and how to upgrade them are all strictly controlled. Otherwise, these components may not be compatible. Or some kind of failure. You know that in the field of military equipment, the most advanced equipment is not the best, but the mature equipment that has been recommended for a long time is more reliable. And your own technology and industry are relatively weak, If you bring back this immature and advanced fighter, it will be difficult for you to maintain and guarantee it. In addition, the price of these new parts will also increase significantly, and you will also need to invest a lot of money in maintenance. According to your current I am afraid that this situation is not practical. In addition, there are strict restrictions on the export of some military equipment and parts. We can use these equipment, but it does not mean that you can use them. Therefore, the requirements you mentioned , I'm sorry, I'm afraid we can't satisfy you."

Hearing Vincent's words, Jiang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Vincent, I think you must be greeting my relatives in your heart right now. Don't be so hasty to refute, I can fully understand, at least When we first started contacting, I first greeted your relatives in my heart, so we evened out."

Hahahaha,,, the people next to Vincent laughed.And Deputy Director Song and the others here, while laughing, were also secretly worried that this Jiang Chen would be a little bold to make such a joke on this occasion.

Seeing Vincent's embarrassed expression, Jiang Chen continued: "We are negotiating with you now, and what we want to buy is the F_14B fighter jet that you have already started producing equipment. As for the upgrade equipment you mentioned, I have no intention of buying it." .Even if we wanted it, you couldn’t give it to us, let alone approve it for export. As for the high maintenance and maintenance price you mentioned, I want to tell you that the maintenance price of your aircraft itself is already high enough. , it doesn’t matter if it is higher. Besides, we can spend so much money to buy your fighters, can’t we spend more money to buy some parts and components to improve the performance of the fighters? As for what you said In terms of export control, I believe you have a way. As you said, your company is stronger than we think. I believe such a powerful company should have your own political lobby. Sir, let them It’s moving, so much money can’t be spent in vain every year. In addition, I want to tell you the fact that we are not only targeting your company, but in fact there are three companies in many countries, including your old America. Line up at the back. Among them is your sworn enemy and strong competitor, the F_18 "Hornet" fighter from Northrop. It seems that your navy prefers this fighter. It is said and planned to use this fighter To replace your F_14 fighter. So we are also very interested in this, and want to know what kind of fighter this is, which can be said to replace your advanced fighter.”

No, Vincent even retorted: "Jiang, you can't do that. Northrop's F_18 can't compare with our fighters at all. In many aerial exercises and confrontations, it was beaten by our fighters Kicked your ass. As for the Navy’s plan to replace us, it’s all the result of the company’s own hype, and it’s advertised by a few well-connected generals. In fact, their fighter planes are so poor that I even doubt it Will this fighter jet disintegrate at any time in the air? Moreover, this fighter jet cannot compare with our fighter jets in every aspect, whether it is in combat radius, ceiling, acceleration, or radar detection range. Jiang, although There are many companies attracted by you this time, but I want to say that we are definitely the most sincere. We can even sell you some of the technologies you can master according to your needs, so as to facilitate your later stage fighters In terms of maintenance and parts replacement, you can use relatively cheap parts from your own country. You know that this is not only economically, but also military, and it is of great significance. It is impossible for representatives of other manufacturers to do this. In this step, they will not allow you to master these technologies. Once you purchase these fighters, you can only choose their company for the maintenance and parts update of the entire fighters. This is equivalent to being choked by them. You know it's dangerous militarily and economically bad."

"No, Mr. Vincent." Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Although there are some differences between this fighter and your fighter in some aspects of performance, it is not as useless as you say. First of all, this fighter has both A single-seat twin-engine supersonic multi-purpose combat fighter/attack aircraft with the identity of a fighter and an attack aircraft. Like you, it was originally a carrier-based aircraft designed for naval aircraft carriers, but it also has excellent performance in land-based air forces, especially The F_18L they improved for road-based fighters is better than the original sea-based fighters in terms of overall performance. This is something that your fighters cannot match. So far, what you have recommended to us is the sea-based fighters that have not been specially improved. What about the model. In addition, this fighter has a relatively large combat space. It can be used as an air superiority fighter for fighting for air supremacy, or as an attack aircraft for ground strikes. It can be seamlessly connected. This is also true in combat. Very valuable."

Seeing Mr. Vincent's face getting darker and darker, Jiang Chen didn't stop but continued: "More importantly, the overall price of this fighter is much cheaper than yours, and all the follow-up maintenance needs The required cost is also much lower than that of your fighter. As for what you said about selling us shared technology, it is only in some insignificant secondary aspects, and you will definitely not give us the real core technology Yes. So what is the use of these irrelevant technologies? Anyway, we still need to buy from you in terms of key technologies and components. So for us, this is just a multiple-choice question. As for who to choose , It depends on our judgment. Mr. Vincent, if you want to obtain our approval and this order, then you need to show more sincerity. I think we should cooperate more pragmatically. Rather than just working on beautiful phrases and gorgeous sentences."
